Description

The documentation for connecting to hdfs from pyarrow shows using the `hdfs` executable for setting the CLASSPATH. However in `_maybe_set_hadoop_classpath` the `hadoop` executable is being set. My understanding is that we will want `_maybe_set_hadoop_classpath` to set CLASSPATH to the `hdfs` executable as documented.
