title: Does HDFS support special characters (Umlauts, etc..)?
body: <p>I am trying to add a file with umlauts to hdfs but when I do I get an error message like this below </p>
  
  <pre><code>++ hdfs dfs -put $'data/R\366\337el.doc' solr/test/test.data
  put: `test.data/Rï¿½ï¿½el.doc': No such file or directory
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What should I do then ? Translate the files with ä for example to ae or is there another way to handle this ?</p>
