Ivan Mitic updated HADOOP-8487:
-------------------------------
Attachment: HADOOP-8487-branch-1-win.alternate.patch
@Daryn: Another idea I was thinking about is to allow DFS paths with a colon
(for example, let {{/c:/some/path}} be a valid DFS path). I attached an
alternate patch that showcases this approach. Ideally we would scope this down
to test only, but it is not obvious how.
> Address test failures related to Windows paths not being valid DFS paths

> There is a number of tests that fail on Windows because Hadoop's distributed
> file system does not allow colon character in DFS paths. Specifically,
> passing in the following path to DFS:
> {code}/c:/some/path{code}
> would fail DFSUtil#isValidName check and cause the current operation to fail.
> Any test that is using local absolute path in the context of the DFS will
> fail because of this.
