> Various SchemaTool options/tasks (e.g., "validate") generate and run SQL
> statements on the underlying database. Depending on the database identifiers
> in the SQL statements may be quoted (see
> [https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/2dbfbeefc1a73d6a50f1c829658846fc827fc780/standalone-metastore/metastore-server/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/metastore/tools/schematool/HiveSchemaHelper.java#L173]).
> Currently, all identifiers are quoted when the database is Postgres and this
> tickets aims to do the same for MySQL/MariaDB.
> The main motivation behind this change is to avoid unexpected surprises and
> query failures when/if the database decides to turn some of the
> tables/columns we are using internally to reserved keywords.
> As a concrete example, the Percona fork of MySQL recently turned
> SEQUENCE_TABLE into a reserved keyword
> ([https://docs.percona.com/percona-server/8.0/flexibility/sequence_table.html])
> and this comes in conflict with our internal metastore table.
> The installation scripts do not fail since in that case SEQUENCE_TABLE is
> quoted
> ([https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/2dbfbeefc1a73d6a50f1c829658846fc827fc780/standalone-metastore/metastore-server/src/main/sql/mysql/hive-schema-4.0.0-beta-2.mysql.sql#L447])
> but validation queries emitted by the SchemaTool will fail
> ([https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/2dbfbeefc1a73d6a50f1c829658846fc827fc780/standalone-metastore/metastore-server/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/metastore/tools/schematool/SchemaToolTaskValidate.java#L117])
> if we don't use quoted identifiers.
