Redshift - Glue Dynamic Data Frame Error

Question

Hi,  
  
First time glue user and would like some help.  
  
Having trouble building a custom data frame connecting to redshift cluster and moving data from one table to another within the same cluster, i had no issues connecting to aurora or rds and doing the same activity. _The weird thing about this is that the crawler connects to redshift cluster successfully and populates the data catalog with the desired tables._

Error: Py4JJavaError: An error occurred while calling o59.getDynamicFrame.

Hi,  
  
I am getting similar error with Zeppelin notebook on complaining about "Py4JJavaError: An error occurred while calling getDynamicFrame".  
  
I am having Glue connecting with RDS. Below is the exception stack:

Update: AWS Glue Tech Support solved my case.  
  
AWS Community: It seems like a limitation with Glue ETL job doesn't liking a special char Redshift Password but the Data Catalog has no issues with it.
