Chuan Liu commented on HDFS-4632:
---------------------------------

I tend to agree 1) is the only feasible solution in short term.

Is it possible to only use "file:///path/foo/a/b/c" format for local path? So 
we could effectively get rid of forward slash on Windows. I understand this 
breaks backward compatibility. But we will have a unified format for paths on 
different OS's. Users may be less confused of which format to use. Any thoughts 
on this?

> {{Path}} normalizes backslashes to forward slashes on Windows.  Later, when 
> passed to {{FileSystem#globStatus}}, the path is no longer treated as an 
> escape sequence.
