Add abfss in the list of cloud protocols

Description

abfss is not in the list of cloud protocols in the module kedro/io/core.py.

Context

I’m currently testing kedro on my project and I am facing an issue when trying to load an ExcelDataSet from an abfss cloud storage.

This works

import pandas as pd
pd.read_excel("abfss://container/path/to/excel/file.xlsx", engine="openpyxl")

This doesn’t

from kedro.extras.datasets.pandas import ExcelDataSet
dataset = ExcelDataSet(filepath="abfss://container/path/to/excel/file.xlsx", load_args={"engine": "openpyxl"})
dataset.load()

Possible Implementation

Simply add abfss to the list of cloud protocols.

Currently, in kedro/io/core.py, line 31:

CLOUD_PROTOCOLS = ("s3", "gcs", "gs", "adl", "abfs")

Update with

CLOUD_PROTOCOLS = ("s3", "gcs", "gs", "adl", "abfs", "abfss")

This solution worked with my issue.

Possible Alternatives

If adding abfss to the list of cloud protocols is not an option to fix this issue, I can provide more information on my issue.

@datajoely We can definitely look at optimising the list of allowed protocols, but currently we have separation between “cloud” and “http” protocols, so it would require a bigger change to handle a generic list like the one above. Also, it doesn’t look like abfss is included, so we’d have to add that anyway.
