Hi Ted,

The link you mention do not have complete list of supported syntax. For
example, few supported syntax are listed as "Supported Hive features" but
that do not claim to be exhaustive (even if it is so, one has to filter out
a lot many lines from Hive QL reference and still will not be sure if its
all - due to versions mismatch).

Quickly searching online gives me link for another popular open source
project which has good sql reference:
https://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.1/ref/crefsqlj23296.html.

I had similar expectation when I was looking for all supported DDL and DML
syntax along with their extensions. For example,
a. Select expression along with supported extensions i.e. where clause,
group by, different supported joins etc.
b. SQL format for Create, Insert, Alter table etc.
c. SQL for Insert, Update, Delete, etc along with their extensions.
d. Syntax for view creation, if supported
e. Syntax for explain mechanism
f. List of supported functions, operators, etc. I can see that 100s of
function are added in 1.5 but then you have to make lot of cross check from
code to JIRA tickets.

So I wanted a piece of documentation that can provide all such information
at a single place.

Regards,
Vivek
