Prasad Chakka commented on HIVE-701:
------------------------------------

i think quoted reserved words work fine as column tables or table names. that 
is how mysql works and i remember someone making this fix long time ago. if not 
then we should make that fix as part of this JIRA.

> lots of reserved keywords in hive

> There is a problem if we want to use some reserved keywords:
> for example, creating a function of name left/right ? left/right is already a 
> reserved keyword.
> The other way around should also be possible - if we want to add a 'show 
> tables status' and some applications already use status as a column name, 
> they should not break
