float field gets converted to scientific notation when query is submitted to source

When submitting the following query:

SELECT COUNT FROM salesforce_sales.salesforce.Opportunity where amount > 100000000;

to a salesforce instance with the shown filter it returns the following error:

org.teiid.runtime.client.TeiidClientException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Remote org.teiid.core.TeiidProcessingException: TEIID30504 SalesForce_Sales: com.sforce.soap.partner.MalformedQueryFault: MALFORMED_QUERY:
Opportunity WHERE Opportunity.Amount > 1.0E8
^
ERROR at Row:1:Column:64
unexpected token: 'E8'
Elapsed Time: 0 hr, 0 min, 1 sec, 109 ms.

why is the quantity modified when the field is declared as float?
