keys with whitespace or punctuation

Hi, thanks for making this, it is saving me some trouble.
I did notice that when reading keys with whitespace, the output schema syntax is invalid.
Here's an example:
{"name": "sometext",
"stuff": {"white space":false},
"white space": "blah blah"
}
The resulting schema output will be invalid syntax due to the spaces:
CREATE TABLE x (
name string,
stuff struct<white space:boolean>,
white space string)
ROW FORMAT SERDE 'org.openx.data.jsonserde.JsonSerDe';
Hive does support column names with whitespace (and, in fact, any Unicode character).
The simple solution is to enclose the column names in backticks.
