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?

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

@Chesnay are you aware of Path issues on Windows?

    format.setFilePath("file:/c:/proj/test/a.txt.txt");

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

            This is what I tired and it doesn't work. Is this a bug?

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

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

                Is there a workaround?
