             Summary: STELLAR Shell: Handle NoViableAltException with better 
information
                 Key: METRON-1089
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-1089
             Project: Metron
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Otto Fowler
            Assignee: Otto Fowler


Antlr's NoViableAltException is thrown when Antlr cannot figure out what to do 
when building the expression tree.  This happens when the grammar is improperly 
posed.

For example:
> TO_UPPER(IN)

Where IN is a reserved phrase, but is not posed correctly.

This is basically an invalid syntax exception.  But buried in the cause of a 
ParseException, it really is not helpful.

The shell should find the ParseException cause, and if it is this exception, 
output a better message
