[jira] [Created] (HADOOP-9768) chown and chgrp reject users and groups with spaces on platforms where spaces are otherwise acceptable

Chris Nauroth created HADOOP-9768:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: chown and chgrp reject users and groups with spaces on platforms where spaces are otherwise acceptable
                 Key: HADOOP-9768
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9768
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: fs
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0, 1-win, 2.1.0-beta, 1.3.0
            Reporter: Chris Nauroth
            Assignee: Chris Nauroth


The chown and chgrp commands enforce a check on a valid set of characters for user and group.  The set of valid characters does not include space.  On some platforms (notably Windows), the space character is acceptable.  We've seen this cause test failures in {{TestFsShellReturnCode}} when running on Windows if the logged-in user is a member of a group like Remote Desktop Users.
