[jira] [Updated] (HADOOP-8487) Address test failures related to Windows paths not being valid DFS paths

Ivan Mitic updated HADOOP-8487:
-------------------------------

    Attachment: HADOOP-8487-branch-1-win.patch

Attaching patch with the fix proposal. This fix modifies problematic tests to use an "abstract" hardcode path instead of System.getProperty("test.build.data") path, as the later one resolves to a local path that fails the DFS check.

This was initially part of the patch for HADOOP-8409 but was spit as it generally represents an issue on its own.

> 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.
