Special characters in Elasticsearch field names are:

. (for navigation between name components)
# (for delimiting name components in _uid, should work, but is discouraged)
* (for matching names)

There are also some restrictions on type names for mappings:

- must not start with underscore "_"
- must not contain comma ","
- must not contain hash mark "#"
- usage of point "." is discouraged but possible
