Description

We define hbase.rootdir as follows in hbase-default.xml:

  <property>
    <name>hbase.tmp.dir</name>
    <value>${java.io.tmpdir}/hbase-${user.name}</value>
  </property>
  <property>
    <name>hbase.rootdir</name>
    <value>file://${hbase.tmp.dir}/hbase</value>
  </property>

This causes an
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Wrong FS: file://C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\2\/hbase-Administrator/hbase, expected: file:///
on windows.
