Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-1995:
---------------------------------------
I would vote that all paths are uris and thus must use "/" as the separator on
all operating systems and file systems. I would push the flip from "/" to "\"
in the local file system when running on windows. I don't know what would
break, but I think the gain in consistency would be worth it.
> Path can not handle a file name that contains a back slash

> Project: Hadoop
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: fs
> Affects Versions: 0.14.1

> When normalizing a path name, Path incorrectly converts a back slash to a
> path separator even if the path name is of the unix style. This prohibs a
> glob from using a back slash to escape a special character. A fix is to make
> path normalization file system dependent.
