title: saveAstextFile is Spark on Windows
body: <p>I know it's unusual configuration, but I I have Spark installed on Windows just for tests<br></p>
  
  <p>I can easily use </p>
  
  <pre><code>val file_in = sc.textFile("UDP_file.txt")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>on local filesystem. But when I try to use </p>
  
  <pre><code>names.saveAsTextFile("file:///file_out.txt")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get an error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>14/08/21 13:06:12 ERROR FileOutputCommitter: Mkdirs failed to create file:/file_out.txt/_temporary/0
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but actualy the path is created:</p>
  
  <pre><code>file_out.txt\_temporary\0\_temporary\attempt_201408211306_0000_m_000000_34
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and with file <code>part-00000</code> insite the catalog.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to <code>use saveAsTextFile</code> method on Spark installed on Windows?</p>
  
  <p>Regards<br>
  Pawel</p>
