Alan Gates commented on HIVE-14950:
-----------------------------------
If you're going to create KW_INTEGER as a new keyword there are several places
that KW_INT is referenced in IdentifiersParser.g that should also be updated.
I'm wondering if instead it makes more sense to change the definition of KW_INT
in HiveLexer.g to be:
{code}
KW_INT: 'INT' | 'INTEGER'
{code}
then you're guaranteed that they're interchangeable now and in the future.

> maybe its just me bumping into this difference again and again...
> but it's in the sql2011 standard...
> adding an alias for int would be easy.
