I am trying to read a json file with the spark Dataset API, the problem is that this json contains spaces in some of the field names.
This would be a json row
{"Field Name" : "value"}
My case class needs to be like this
case class MyType(`Field Name`: String)
Then I can load the file into a DataFrame and it will load the correct schema
val dataframe = spark.read.json(path)
The problem comes when I try to convert the DataFrame to a Dataset[MyType]
dataframe.as[MyType]
The StructSchema loaded by the Encoder[MyType] is wrong and it introduces $u0020 instead of the space and I get the following error
cannot resolve '`Field$u0020Name`' given input columns: [Field Name];
org.apache.spark.sql.AnalysisException: cannot resolve '`Field$u0020Name`' given input columns: [Field Name];

Is there any workaround to solve this problem?
A workaround is to create a column name without space (give underscore) & rename the DF column to match the case class column name.
case class MyType(Field_Name: String)
dataframe.withColumnRenamed("Field Name", "Field_Name").as[MyType]
FYI I have created a Spark bug about this issue and they are fixing it https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-22442
