Tsuyoshi Ozawa commented on HADOOP-8174:
----------------------------------------
[~qwertymaniac] I took a look at the patch, and I think it's before our
supporting Windows. Precisely, we can say "slash for Unix OS, back slack for
Windows". What do you think?
> Remove confusing comment in Path#isAbsolute()

> The method is checking for absolute path correctly. When scheme and authority
> are present, the path is absolute. So the following comment needs to be
> removed.
> {noformat}
> /**
> * There is some ambiguity here. An absolute path is a slash
> * relative name without a scheme or an authority.
> * So either this method was incorrectly named or its
> * implementation is incorrect. This method returns true
> * even if there is a scheme and authority.
