Sai Karthik Ganguru commented on SQOOP-1361:
--------------------------------------------
[~jarcec] I think just incorporating the
[ClassWriter.toIdentifier|https://github.com/apache/sqoop/blob/trunk/src/java/org/apache/sqoop/orm/ClassWriter.java#L214]
method alone to clean up the column names will not be sufficient for this
use-case because the '$' symbol which is a currency as well and hence is valid
when cleaning up columns with isJavaIdentifierPart() method. So we should do
some additional processing for this. Let me know if additional check for '$'
apart from the
[ClassWriter.toIdentifier|https://github.com/apache/sqoop/blob/trunk/src/java/org/apache/sqoop/orm/ClassWriter.java#L214]
method should suffice.
> When a special character like '$' is encountered in the column names then the
> Sqoop script fails
