Database name is not encoded when used to create default database location

Details

    Description

      The database directory is created using the following code in Warehouse.java:

      private String dbDirFromDbName(Database db) throwsMetaException { 
  return db.getName().toLowerCase() +DATABASE_WAREHOUSE_SUFFIX; }

      The database name is not encoded, as done when generating directories for table names. As a consequence, special characters in schema names yield problems, e.g., when a schema having name "my:schema" is created:

      metastore.RetryingHMSHandler: MetaException(message:java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: java.net.URISyntaxException: Relative path in absolute URI: my:schema.db)
        at org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.ExceptionHandler.newMetaException(ExceptionHandler.java:152)
        at org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.ExceptionHandler.defaultMetaException(ExceptionHandler.java:168)
        at org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HMSHandler.create_database(HMSHandler.java:1397)
