Environment details : Hortonworks 2.5

Flume 1.7

Spool dir source.

Am trying to write a file to HDFS and the subdirectory name contains ":" in it and am getting "not a valid DFS name " while writing to HDFS.

Any workarounds for this?

You might want to see this JIRA: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-14217

and

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-13 ( the use of : is not yet resolved)

Thank you @Jay Kumar SenSharma . Will try to build a custom interceptor to drop the : character.
