Jason Dere commented on HIVE-3190:
----------------------------------
The issue would have been if we had put the folliowing alias rule in the lexer:
{noformat}
KW_BINARY: 'BINARY' | 'BLOB'
{noformat}
which would have been bad because the parsing rules would then allow BLOB LARGE
OBJECT, in addition to BINARY LARGE OBJECT. So BINARY and BLOB need to stay as
separate keywords in the lexer rules.
> allow INTEGER as a type name in a column/cast expression (per ISO-SQL 2011)
