----------------------------------------
Summary: Reduce new reserved keywords introduced since 3.0
Key: CASSANDRA-16439
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-16439
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: CQL/Syntax
Reporter: Jon Meredith
Building on CASSANDRA-16398, for users upgrading from 3.0 to 4.0 there have
been a few new reserved keywords added that can cause problems with schema
changes and queries in existing applications. Reducing the number of new
reserved words makes upgrades easier for users.
{code:java}
K_DEFAULT
K_MBEAN
K_MBEANS
K_NEGATIVE_INFINITY
K_NEGATIVE_NAN
K_POSITIVE_INFINITY
K_POSITIVE_NAN
K_REPLACE
K_SCHEMA
K_UNSET
{code}
I think they can all be removed from the ReservedWords lists (where present)
and added to {{basic_unreserved_keyword}} with the exception of the {\{NAN}}
and \{{INFINITY}} as there could be ambiguity between a selected field and a
nan/infinity literal.
To validate I've written a test that extracts the keywords from the parser
tokens and verifies that any non-reserved keywords can be used as table and
column names for regular tables and materialized views. It isn't exhaustive but
provides a good sense check.
