Shengsheng Huang created HIVE-3561: -------------------------------------- Summary: Full SQL-compliant parser for Hive Key: HIVE-3561 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3561 Project: Hive Issue Type: Sub-task Components: Query Processor Affects Versions: 0.10.0 Reporter: Shengsheng Huang
To build a full SQL compliant engine on Hive, we'll need a full SQL complant parser. The current Hive parser missed a lot of grammar units from standard SQL. To support full SQL there're possibly four approaches: 1.Extend the existing Hive parser to support full SQL constructs. We need to modify the current Hive.g and add any missing grammar units and resolve conflicts. 2.Reuse an existing open source SQL compliant parser and extend it to support Hive extensions. We may need to adapt Semantic Analyzers to the new AST structure. 3.Reuse an existing SQL compliant parser and make it co-exist with the existing Hive parser. Both parsers share the same CliDriver interface. Use a query mode configuration to switch the query mode between SQL and HQL (this is the approach we're now using in the 0.9.0 demo project) 4.Reuse an existing SQL compliant parser and make it co-exist with the existing Hive parser. Use a separate xxxCliDriver interface for standard SQL. Let's discuss which is the best approach. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
