Description

Hello,

While using webhdfs, I encountered a strange bug where I just cannot rename a file if it has a space in the filename.

It seems strange to me, is there anything I am missing ?

 

Edit: After some debugging, it seems to be linked with the way spaces are encoded the webhdfs url: the JDK's URLEncoder uses '+' to encode spaces, whereas a CURL command where the filename is encoded with '%20' for spaces works just fine.
