Whenever I try to take a snapshot of an index which contains a ':' colon in its name,I end up with the following trace:
{ "error":"IllegalArgumentException[java.net.URISyntaxException: Relative path in absolute URI: crawl:1]; nested: URISyntaxException[Relative path in absolute URI: crawl:1]; ", "status":500 } It does not matter if the 'indices' argument is provided or not, the snapshot name is set to 'snapshot'. I have tried to specify the index escaping the sign with '%3a' but in this case the name does not fit any available indices. I assume this is related to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-13 filenames with ':' colon throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException? The question is, is there a way to somehow escape the character (if not within the request then perhaps code itself?) and if so, would creating a feature request make sense?
