Chen Liang commented on HDFS-12373:
-----------------------------------
This seems to be intentional. {{DFSUtilClient.isValidName}} is called when
creating a file, and the comment of this method explicitly says:
{code}
/**
* Whether the pathname is valid. Currently prohibits relative paths,
* names which contain a ":" or "//", or other non-canonical paths.
*/
{code}
> Trying to construct Path for a file that has colon (":") throws
> IllegalArgumentException

> In case a file has colon in its name, org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path, can not be
> constructed. For example, I have file "a:b" under /tmp and new
> Path("file:/tmp", "a:b") throws IllegalArgumentException.
