             Summary: ASOF JOIN parser-stage defects
                 Key: SPARK-59626
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-59626
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Umbrella
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 5.0.0
            Reporter: Luka Zdravic


ASOF JOIN enforces two grammar rules at parse time in a way that is either 
unclear or unsafe. 

This umbrella tracks two parser-stage issues, one sub-task each:
  1. An unsupported join type before ASOF (for example RIGHT, FULL, CROSS,
     NATURAL, SEMI, ANTI, LATERAL) fails with a generic PARSE_SYNTAX_ERROR
     instead of an error that names the incompatible join type.
  2. A missing MATCH_CONDITION is silently ignored when the left table has no
     alias, so ASOF JOIN degrades to a plain INNER JOIN with no error. 
  
  Issue 1 is a diagnostics gap: the rejection is correct but the message is
  unhelpful. Issue 2 is a correctness bug: the query runs and returns wrong
  results instead of failing.
