-----------------------------------
why we need a full sql-compliant parser? what exactly feature we're talking
about?sql-92 has some features likes Temporary tables,call level
interface,Scrolling cursors etc.IMO Maybe we should discuss individual feature
instead of discussing whether we need a new parser or not.
> Build a full SQL-compliant parser for Hive
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-3561
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3561
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Query Processor
> Affects Versions: 0.10.0
> Reporter: Shengsheng Huang
>
> To build a full SQL compliant engine on Hive, we'll need a full SQL complant
> parser. The current Hive parser missed a lot of grammar units from standard
> SQL. To support full SQL there're possibly four approaches:
> 1.Extend the existing Hive parser to support full SQL constructs. We need to
> modify the current Hive.g and add any missing grammar units and resolve
> conflicts.
> 2.Reuse an existing open source SQL compliant parser and extend it to support
> Hive extensions. We may need to adapt Semantic Analyzers to the new AST
> structure.
> 3.Reuse an existing SQL compliant parser and make it co-exist with the
> existing Hive parser. Both parsers share the same CliDriver interface. Use a
> query mode configuration to switch the query mode between SQL and HQL (this
> is the approach we're now using in the 0.9.0 demo project)
> 4.Reuse an existing SQL compliant parser and make it co-exist with the
> existing Hive parser. Use a separate xxxCliDriver interface for standard SQL.
>
> Let's discuss which is the best approach.
