> Hive's current behavior on Quoted Identifiers is different from the normal
> interpretation. Quoted Identifier (using backticks) has a special
> interpretation for Select expressions(as Regular Expressions). Have
> documented current behavior and proposed a solution in attached doc.
> Summary of solution is:
> - Introduce 'standard' quoted identifiers for columns only.
> - At the langauage level this is turned on by a flag.
> - At the metadata level we relax the constraint on column names.
