It'd be great if `ok` was returned when creating a file system connection

Hello, I am using blazing with two main HDFS NameNodes, I do not know how the NameNodes work but I always seem to get only one of them working at a single time. I would like to be able to tell if one NameNode was registered succesfully programatically, but unfortunately, because this ok variable is not returned I cannot do that only the success/error message is printed. Could it be possible to have that ok variable returned?? Otherwise how can I tell if my HDFS connection was registered succesfully programmatically??

my code:

import getpass
from blazingsql import BlazingContext
bc = BlazingContext()
bc.hdfs(
    'dbnn',
    host ='namenode.company.com',
    port = 8020,
    user=getpass.getuser(),
    kerb_ticket="/tmp/krb5cc_132855"
)
"""output

Good point. Alot of us use Jupyter Notebooks when testing and we sometimes forget that these apis need to be invoked not just by a human who typed it in to see the output there.
