> There are multiple places in prod and test code where Windows paths are not handled properly. From a high level this could be summarized with:
> 1. Windows paths are not necessarily valid DFS paths (while Unix paths are)
> 2. Windows paths are not necessarily valid URIs (while Unix paths are)
> #1 causes a number of tests to fail because they implicitly assume that local paths are valid DFS paths (by extracting the DFS test path from for example "test.build.data" property)
> #2 causes issues when URIs are directly created on path strings passed in by the user
