Vinayakumar B commented on HADOOP-8174:
---------------------------------------
bq. I think it's before our supporting Windows.
I think there is no problem here. because hadoop implementation uses '/' as
Path.SEPARATOR. and its URI standard.
Patch looks good +1
> 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.
