Runping Qi commented on HADOOP-3257:
------------------------------------
I think Hadoop need to make a clear and deliberate decision as to which chars
are allowed/disallowed as a part of dfs paths
and provide tool (sych as url encode/decode) to help deal with those disallowed
chars.
Personally, I don't see why it is wrong to exclude ":" if doing so simplifies a
lot of things.
I don't think it is worthwhile to invest a lot of efforts to support all chars
in paths.
> Path should handle all characters

> Key: HADOOP-3257
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3257
> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: fs
> Affects Versions: 0.17.0
> Reporter: Arun C Murthy
>
> Currently Path is limited by URI semantics in the sense that one cannot
> create files whose names include characters such as ":" etc.
> HADOOP-2066 & HADOOP-3256 are manifestations of this problem. It would be
> nice if Path handled all characters correctly...
