i had a parsing error when i tried to ingest csv files into kafka broker using spooldir connector and file pulse connector .  
the fields names contain special caracters like : / , + , - :  
here’s an example of a csv header :  
Date\Time,Server-ID,numb:requests

the connector cannot match the schema .  
is there any solution?
