Description

Post-HADOOP-9902, the following in xyz_OPTS doesn't work without being escaped:

-XX:HeapDumpPath=./java_pid_<pid>.hprof

This is a bit of surprising behavior to the users. The breakage is directly result of the code that fixes spaces in directories. Since it is much more likely to hit weird metacharacters in shell than have directories with spaces, that part of HADOOP-9902 needs to get replaced.
