Description
dataset csv-schema movies.csv --class Movies -o movie.avsc
Unknown error: Illegal character in: Release Date
The illegal character is in the header itself (the space between "Release" and "Date"), but this message made me think that it was an illegal value in the column.
Ryan says that there is a helpful message in Kite when a title includes a hyphen, but this error is thrown in Avro before it reaches Kite.
Catching header problems and saying something like "Illegal character in header" will prevent head-scratching for people like me, many of whom, like me, cannot afford to scratch their heads for fear of further decimation of a follicular nature.
