Lyuben Todorov commented on CASSANDRA-7398:
-------------------------------------------
bq. A prefix with a single slash (i.e. "file:/") or double slash (i.e.
"file://" ) also works using windows CMD. However, applying this update will
replace those prefixes by "file:///file:/" and "file:///file://" respectively
which do not work.
This is why I think instead of trying to correct the input by appending the
prefix is a bad idea and instead we should throw an exception preventing server
startup.
bq. the assumption to prefix "everything" with file:/// (three slashes before
drive specification) is wrong.
bq. Java needs "file:///" in the cassandra.config param
We need to come to a consensus on what the prefix should be. /cc
