Are you actually seeing problems or is this a cleanup exercise to use
appropriate api ?
Creation of the file happens from within spark and is not externally
provided - and that should match how it gets used.
If we are not seeing any actual issues, I would rather not go down the path
of fixing this.
getCanonicalPath, etc are expensive operations reqiuring filesystem IO to
resolve.
