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.

Did the path by chance start with file://C:/... ?
If so, please try file:///C: ...
