Description

Passing a complex configuration:

filter.map.filter1.property=xpath("name") in ("uiBrowseStartup.ended",
"subscription.ended", "uiStartup.ended") or xpath("category") =
"uiIntent"

This property is understood by Java properties (Verified), however when used in Samza, it breaks with the following error:

 Exception in thread "main" org.codehaus.jackson.JsonParseException: Unrecognized character escape ')' (code 41)

To reproduce, just paste the config in hello-samza as a property.
