Namit Jain commented on HIVE-701:
---------------------------------
That's right -
mysql> create table `tst2`(`table` int);
ERROR 1050 (42S01): Table 'tst2' already exists
mysql> create table `create`(`table` int);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.05 sec)
However, that is not good enough for hive - where a lot of the keywords which
we might want to reserve in the future are already being used by applications
> 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
