I would like read a file from HDFS using Python open() method . However it is not working. Can someone give me a method to read hdfs file using Open() method in python.

for line in open("hdfs://namenode:54311/user/hadoop/filename.txt"):

However it gives me an error

"IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'hdfs://namenode:54311/user/hadoop/filename.txt'"

The built in open doesn't work with URIs. E.g. It would also error out on open("http://example.com/index.html").

Your question is well answered in the suggested duplicate.
