Chris Nauroth commented on HDFS-6189:
-------------------------------------
This is a regression caused by HDFS-3128. The motivation of HDFS-3128 was to
prevent using /tmp on the local file system during tests. However, for HDFS,
using /tmp is not a problem, because this is just a path used in the
{{MiniDFSCluster}}. It's not a local file system path.
> Multiple HDFS tests fail on Windows attempting to use a test root path
> containing a colon.

> Key: HDFS-6189
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6189
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Test
> Components: test
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0, 2.4.0
> Reporter: Chris Nauroth
> Assignee: Chris Nauroth
>
> Some HDFS tests are attempting to use a test root path based on the
> test.root.dir that we've defined for use on the local file system. This
> doesn't work on Windows because of the drive spec, i.e. C:. HDFS rejects
> paths containing a colon as invalid.
