[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-14829) Path should support colon

["Steve Loughran (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-14829?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16151491#comment-16151491 ] 

Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-14829:
-----------------------------------------

This is pretty fundamental, to the extent ws say  in [The Specification|https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/trunk/hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/src/site/markdown/filesystem/model.md], *Path elements MUST NOT contain the characters {'/', ':'}.*

Otherwise you can end up with paths like {{filesys:host:::::::::::::}} and we don't want to go there, not unless java.net.URI can go there too. Take a look at Path's handling of : in windows paths, to get a hint of the problem.

It's also a duplicate of HADOOP-14217; please look at that that issue and discussion. Closing as such...please carry on discussion there.

> This JIRA is to allow Path to support colon in URI
