Chris Nauroth commented on HADOOP-8953:
---------------------------------------
Some ideas have been discussed for refactoring Path and its numerous call
sites. That's a fairly large scope considering how many other classes are
coupled to Path, and the fact that many callers assume return values of a
certain format to use in additional string concatenation.
At this point, we'd prefer to work towards full test pass on Windows with
minimal changes to the current trunk code, and then refactor slowly towards the
ideal state after we have those tests as a safety net. This would be a
conservative approach towards improving the codebase's path handling logic.
