Bikas Saha commented on HADOOP-8868:
------------------------------------
So we are using JAVA API to resolve the path to a normalized form? Ideally the
FileUtil method could take File arguments instead of strings but we'd like to
avoid changing the public API.
In what cases can we get a mix of slashes on the string path?
> FileUtil#chmod should normalize the path before calling into shell APIs
