>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-16977
>             Project: Hadoop HDFS
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: dfsclient, namenode
>    Affects Versions: 3.3.4
>            Reporter: WangYuanben
>            Priority: Minor

> Some pathnames which contains special character(s) may lead to unexpected 
> results. For example, there is a file named "/foo/file*" in my cluster, 
> created by "DistributedFileSystem.create(new Path("/foo/file*"))". When I 
> want to remove it, I type in "hadoop fs -rm /foo/file*" in shell. However, I 
> remove all the files with the prefix of "/foo/file*" unexpectedly. There are 
> also some other characters just like '*', such as ' ', '|', '&', etc.
>  
> Therefore, it's necessary to restrict the occurrence of these characters in 
> pathname. A simple but effective way is to forbid assigned characters in 
> pathname when new file or directory is created.
>  
> It is also important to add the same function on the Router model and WebHdfs 
> model. I will add them as two subtasks later.
