Harsh J commented on HADOOP-7945:
---------------------------------

I guess that could bring in compatibility issues. (People begin expecting that 
to fail, and at some point in future a bug fix like HADOOP-3257 regresses 
against that thought.) But otherwise, that idea is sound.

Do we emit no "Invalid char in path" form of messages today? If we do, then 
this is not a worry, we could inject looking for colon in that somehow.

Want to take a shot at it Niels? :)
