public static String validate(String path)
```
    Validate if string is a valid path. Return normalized string or throw exception if not valid. This was added to facilitate more use of TabletFile over String but this puts the validation in one location in the case where TabletFile can't be used. The Garbage Collector is optimized to store a directory for Tablet File so a String is used.
