Add support for windows network paths
Currently, trying to pass a network path like r"\some\network\location" will fail under Windows. TileDB complains that this is not a valid URI scheme. This makes it impossible to store arrays on network shares from Windows machines.
Mapping the location to a network drive letter is not a real workaround because drive mappings don't work well in a headless server environments when some service needs to access the array.
@SleepingPills thank you for reporting this issue, apologies in the delay in responding. We've run some tests and have determined the issue in our file uri handling for "local" paths. We've add this to our roadmap to fix soon, either in our planned TileDB 2.3 this month or potentially in a patch release on the 2.2 branch if we can make the fix in the next few days. Is this currently blocking your use of TileDB?
If you are able, can you share some details on how you are using TileDB? We don't often run across people using TileDB+Windows in the server environment so I am curious about your use case.

Thanks. We are thinking of TileDB for storing large amounts of financial data. Windows is slightly more prevalent in this industry as quite a few other tools (data terminals, Excel) have no adequate linux alternative.
