I'm also wondering about the spec for V2 field syntax. The KIP states that "if the backticks are in a wrapping position (opening or closing a field name), then need to be escaped with backslash", but I think we might actually want something like "if a backtick is followed by a dot in the field name, the backtick should be escaped with a backslash". For example: - With a field name of <code>a.b</code>, the user would have to enclose the field in backticks to handle the dot in the name, so they would specify <code>`a.b`</code> in the connector config - With a field name of <code>`a.b</code>, there's no dot after the backtick in the name, so nothing special is necessary; the user can just add that backtick to the field name in the connector config and use <code>``a.b`</code> - Similarly, with a field name of <code>a.b`</code>, the user could just specify <code>`a.b``</code> in the connector config - But, with a field name of <code>a`.b</code>, the user would need to signal to us that the <code>`.</code> part of that name is not the end of the field name, so they would have to specify <code>`a\`.b`</code> in the connector config Does that work, or is the current logic/spec correct? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
