Invalid path exception

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

Caused by: *java.nio.file.InvalidPathException*: Illegal char <:> at index

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?

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?

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

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

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