> Based on the commit for DRILL-5981 ([PR
> #1043|https://github.com/apache/drill/pull/1043]), this JIRA's commit further
> leverages the Ace JavaScript library with customizations specific to Drill.
> This introduces the following to Drill:
> # Syntax highlighting (This is also supported for submitted query profiles)
> # Auto-complete supported in all SQL editors (including the Edit Query tab
> within an existing profile to rerunning the query).
> For browsers like Chrome, you should be able to type {{Ctrl+Space}} to show
> a drop down list for use. Arrow keys are used for navigating to the desired
> option.
> # Specifying Drill specific keywords and functions in visible autocomplete
> # Key snippets (template SQLs) allowing for rapid writing of syntax:
> i. Query System Tables
> ii. CView, CTAS, CTempTAS and CFuncJar
> iii. Alter Session
> iv. Explain and Select * queries
> This is done by leveraging the *Snippets* feature in the Ace library, which
> allows for writing SQL code from templates. Like auto-complete, this will
> insert a template for you. The required/optional fields are then selected (in
> order) for you to populate, as you complete each and navigate to the next
> using {{Tab}}.
> NOTE: The lists for items 3 and 4 are not exhaustive. As more features are
> added to Drill, these lists can be expanded.
