Hey Stephen,
I've hit this "bug" before (rather, our admins did...).
I would be happy to see you file it - after checking for duplicates -
so I no longer have to warn people about it.

Oh sure, Linux will certainly allow you to create files/dirs with such
names (and better .. hows about
touch \.\.\.
or similar (which used to be a favourite of guys who had managed to
exploit bad permissions on ftp sites to upload material of dubious
copyright). But is that the intention in the Hadoop config or is it a
usability oversight? Hence my mail here rather than raising a bug
immediately.
... so stripping it out could mean you couldn't enter some valid
directory names (but who has folders starting with a space?)
Well ... I do now ;)
