Alan Gates commented on HIVE-13607:
-----------------------------------
On second thought screw it, I'm bike shedding. Let's just use it as an
adjective and be done with it. It doesn't strike me as the best use of English
or the law, but it's not worth 5 more minutes of anyone's time to deal with it.
> Change website references to HQL/HiveQL to SQL

> When it started Hive's SQL dialect was far enough from standard SQL that the
> developers called it HQL or HiveQL.
> Over the years Hive's SQL dialect has matured. It still has some oddities
> but it is explicitly pushing towards SQL 2011 conformance. Calling the
> language anything but SQL now is confusing for users.
> In addition to changing the website I propose to make changes in the wiki.
