Invalid path exception

[Mohit Anchlia]

I am using flink 1.3.1 and getting this exception. Is there a workaround?

Did the path by chance start with file://C:/... ?

If so, please try file:///C: ...

I think that on Windows, you need to use "file:/c:/proj/..." with just one slash after the scheme.

Hmm, looks like a bug then... Could you open a JIRA issue for that?

@Chesnay are you aware of Path issues on Windows?

This might be  a problem with /t in the path. It might be interpreting
it as a tab.

One problem i know of is that windows paths with a scheme are not detected as windows paths, as documented in FLINK-6889.
They generally still work though (maybe by chance).

I just verified that calling FileInputFormat#setFilePath() works for both "file:///" and "file:/" on Windows.
(I'm assuming that we're talking about the FileInputFormat, if I'm wrong please correct me)

@Mohit Could you provide the full stacktrace or a small self-contained example to reproduce the issue?

Let's move the discussions to FLINK-7330.
