-------------------------------------
Quick question, why is {{WebHdfsFileSystem}} special cased in a few instances?

> There is a number of tests that fail on Windows because Hadoop's distributed file system does not allow colon character in DFS paths. Specifically, passing in the following path to DFS:
> {code}/c:/some/path{code}
> would fail DFSUtil#isValidName check and cause the current operation to fail. Any test that is using local absolute path in the context of the DFS will fail because of this.
