`Path(Path parent, String child)` Resolve a child path against a parent path.
`Path(String pathString)` Construct a path from a String.
`Path(String parent, Path child)` Resolve a child path against a parent path.
`Path(String parent, String child)` Resolve a child path against a parent path.
`Path(String scheme, String authority, String path)` Construct a Path from components.
`Path(URI aUri)` Construct a path from a URI

Method Summary
`int` | `compareTo(Object o)`
`int` | `depth()` Return the number of elements in this path.
`boolean` | `equals(Object o)`
`FileSystem` | `getFileSystem(Configuration conf)` Return the FileSystem that owns this Path.
`String` | `getName()` Returns the final component of this path.
`Path` | `getParent()` Returns the parent of a path or null if at root.
`int` | `hashCode()`
`boolean` | `isAbsolute()` True if the directory of this path is absolute.
`Path` | `makeQualified(FileSystem fs)` Returns a qualified path object.
`Path` | `makeQualified(URI defaultUri, Path workingDir)` Returns a qualified path object.
