Fabian Hueske commented on FLINK-2077:
--------------------------------------
Hi Lun,
{{//host/dir1/dir2}} is an example for a path to a Windows share, i.e., a path
to a directory {{dir1/dir2}} which is shared by a host {{host}}. You can check
the [Windows Dev
Center|https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365247%28v=vs.85%29.aspx#paths]
for Windows path specification.
However, the focus of this JIRA would be rather to clean up the {{Path}} class
which exists for a long time and has been changed at several places. Now it is
a bit messed up and hard to maintain.
Adding support for Windows share paths would be nice but is not mandatory.
Thanks, Fabian

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 0.9
> Reporter: Fabian Hueske
> Assignee: GaoLun
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: starter
>
> The class {{org.apache.flink.core.fs.Path}} handles paths for Flink's
> {{FileInputFormat}} and {{FileOutputFormat}}. Over time, this class has
> become quite hard to read and modify.
> It would benefit from some cleaning and refactoring. Along with the
> refactoring, support for Windows paths like {{//host/dir1/dir2}} could be
> added.
