Description

HADOOP-9287 made changes to the tests to support running multiple tests in parallel. Part of that patch accidentally reverted a prior change to use paths of the form "/tmp/<test name>" when running tests against HDFS. On Windows, use of the test root will contain a drive spec (i.e. C:\dir), and the colon character is rejected as invalid by HDFS.
