Jarek Jarcec Cecho commented on SQOOP-1361:
-------------------------------------------
The method comment is stating:
{quote}
* Coerce a candidate name for an identifier into one which is a valid
* Java or Avro identifier.
*
* Ensures that the returned identifier matches [A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*
* and is not a reserved word.
{quote}
Hence I would assume that {{$}} should not be allowed output of the method call.
> When a special character like '$' is encountered in the column names then the
> Sqoop script fails
