This does *not* apply to the hbase.zookeeper.property.dataDir property, which
may contain whitespace characters.
I tried using a workaround by providing the complete URL instead of a path name
(e.g. file:/C:/Program%20Files/...) but in this case %20 is not interpreted as
a whitespace but literally, so that HBase creates the path
C:\Program%20Files\...".
Finally I was able to create a workaround by using DOS-style path names like
C:\PROGRA~1\....
