The file at v3io://bigdata/my_file and /v3io/bigdata/my_file is exactly the same, but is accessed differently.

A path with v3io:// is accessed via the Iguazio V3IO protocol. This is generally more performant, but is not compatible with all libraries

A path with /v3io is accessed via a mounted filesystem. This is not as performant as the V3IO protocol, but is compatible with more libraries

I recommend using v3io:// where possible and falling back on /v3io when it is not

Is the 'v3io://test/file' the same as 'v3io:///test/file' (I added one '/')? – JIST Nov 18 '22 at 19:36
Is it possible to see more information about v3io protocol? – JIST Nov 19 '22 at 05:31
