-------------------------------------------

             Summary: Support @-syntax timestamp time travel on table name
                 Key: SPARK-58012
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-58012
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 4.3.0
            Reporter: Sotirios Kougiouris


h2. What
Add the {{@}} timestamp time travel shorthand on table names so that
{code:sql}
SELECT * FROM name@<TS>
{code}
and
{code:java}
spark.read.format("format").table("name@<ts>")
{code}
parse into the same plan as the existing {{TIMESTAMP AS OF}} and 
{{option("timestampAsOf")}} syntaxes. Support for SQL, the classic DataFrame 
reader, and Spark Connect.

h2. Why
Spark already supports {{TIMESTAMP AS OF}} and the {{{}timestampAsOf{}}} reader 
options, but not the compact {{@}} suffix. Resolving it at parse time also 
simplifies the time travel entry points pipeline.
h2. Proposed change
 * Lexer/grammar: add {{@}}-suffix for timstamps on table identifiers.

h2. Notes
 * Backquoted identifiers like {{`name@<ts>`}} remain literal table names.
