Harsh J commented on HADOOP-7945:
---------------------------------
Am thinking it might just be better to document this and add a test case
(that'd fail the day its fixed).
Maybe this approach could cause incompatibility, as am not sure if there are
ways to 'tweak' the Path into accepting ":" (escaped/encoded).
Another character that causes issue is a slash in the filename itself, even if
escaped/encoded.
> Document that Path objects do not support ":" in them.
