Description

As design, hive could support hadoop dfs command in hive shell, like
hive> dfs -mkdir /user/biadmin/mydir;

but has different behavior with hadoop if the path contains space and quotes

hive> dfs -mkdir "hello";
drwxr-xr-x - biadmin supergroup 0 2013-04-23 09:40 /user/biadmin/"hello"

hive> dfs -mkdir 'world';
drwxr-xr-x - biadmin supergroup 0 2013-04-23 09:43 /user/biadmin/'world'

hive> dfs -mkdir "bei jing";
drwxr-xr-x - biadmin supergroup 0 2013-04-23 09:44 /user/biadmin/"bei
drwxr-xr-x - biadmin supergroup 0 2013-04-23 09:44 /user/biadmin/jing"
