Research direction

Start by reproducing the Scala case class example and inspect the CodeGen path that produces generated.java. Focus on how accessors are emitted for fields named with reserved Java keywords. Done means the example compiles and TypedDataset.create succeeds without the generated.java selector error.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

bug

It is possible to define a case class with reserve field names using back-ticks.

case class Foo(a: String, `if`: Int)
val t = TypedDataset.create(Seq(Foo("a",2), Foo("b",2)))

Fails with the following error:
