Andrew Schwartzmeyer commented on MESOS-7371:
---------------------------------------------
I confirmed that _long paths_ still work. I patched `os::mkdir` to use
`CreateDirectoryW` with the long path marker `\\?\`. This allows the use of
long path enabled Windows system calls _without_ requiring the user to opt-in,
and is probably what we should do going forward.
Game plan: remove our use of the Windows CRT (e.g. _mkdir and _fullpath etc.)
and replace it with UTF-16 Windows system APIs as appropriate throughout Stout.
Add a Windows only internal `wstring os::longpath(string)` function to prepend
the long path marker to absolute paths (but not to relative), and convert to
wstring. Use this where needed.

> MSDN _seems_ to imply that it's possible to enable the NTFS long path support
> for each process, without the user having to do it manually. This should be
> investigated (perhaps it's done during installation).
