I tried the following simple statement in beeline (Hive 3.0.0): create table app (application STRING);
And got the following error: Error: Error while compiling statement: FAILED: ParseException line 1:18 cannot recognize input near 'application' 'STRING' ')' in column name or constraint (state=42000,code=40000) I checked the Wiki [1] but didn't see 'application' on the list of reserved words. However if I change the column name to anything else (even 'applicatio') it works. Can someone confirm whether this is a reserved word? Thanks in advance, Matt [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+DDL#LanguageManualDDL-Keywords,Non-reservedKeywordsandReservedKeywords
