Andrew Wang commented on HDFS-5224:
-----------------------------------
Is it acceptable to have the descriptor's internal representation still be a
{{String}}, but then turn it into a {{Path}} for the client in the getter? I
think this is ok since the path string is always absolute, and we could even
qualify with the correct scheme and authority if desired.
> Refactor PathBasedCache* methods to use a Path rather than a String
