I just answered this problem in user@spark.org 
 
 
df = spark.createDataFrame(
    [("china", "asia"), ("colombia", "south america`")],
    ["country", "continent`"]
)
df.show()

 
{code:java}
// +--------+--------------+
| country|    continent`|
+--------+--------------+
|   china|          asia|
|colombia|south america`|
+--------+--------------+ {code}
 
 

df.select("continent`").show(1)
(...)

AnalysisException: Syntax error in attribute name: continent`.

 

clean_df = df.toDF(*(c.replace('`', '_') for c in df.columns))
clean_df.show()
{code:java}
// +--------+--------------+
| country|    continent_|
+--------+--------------+
|   china|          asia|
|colombia|south america`|
+--------+--------------+ {code}
 

clean_df.select("continent_").show(2)
{code:java}
// +--------------+
|    continent_|
+--------------+
|          asia|
|south america`|
+--------------+ {code}
