Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-14217:
-----------------------------------------

like you say, HDFS support is irrelevant. It's about the Path type, the FS APIs 
and the implementation, Oh, and the new contract test suite, obviously,

It's precisely because ":" works in blobstores that some systems generate blobs 
with it in, google logs are a key example...that's data to be analysed. What I 
don't want is piecemeal patches which only support some use cases "glob for 
spark queries" which fail on others (create files with : in, them; recursive 
list files of directory trees with ":" in the path, directories with colon, etc)
Probably all are valid
{code}
x://dir:name/file
x://dir/dir:2/file
x://dir:name/dir:2/file
x://dir/d3/log:file.gz
{code}
What is interesting is: would a colon be valid as the sole path element?
{code}
x://:/:/:.gz
x://:/:/:
{code}
It's not automatic that this has to hold; you can use a "." in a path element, 
but "." and ".." cannot be path elements themselves

Anway, something for HADOOP-3257.
