Alan Gates commented on HIVE-13607:
-----------------------------------
I think it would be good to have a more full description of hive, either later
on the page after all the links or perhaps on the first page of the wiki (which
already has a more complete description, and which I plan to edit next).
I'm going to keep this fix just to the current changes (thanks for the review
btw), but we could file a JIRA for further improvements.
> Change website references to HQL/HiveQL to SQL

> When it started Hive's SQL dialect was far enough from standard SQL that the
> developers called it HQL or HiveQL.
> Over the years Hive's SQL dialect has matured. It still has some oddities
> but it is explicitly pushing towards SQL 2011 conformance. Calling the
> language anything but SQL now is confusing for users.
> In addition to changing the website I propose to make changes in the wiki.
