imback82 commented on issue #27482: [SPARK-30613][SQL] Support Hive style 
REPLACE COLUMNS syntax
URL: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/27482#issuecomment-584986695
 
 
   We currently have the following for `ADD COLUMN`
   ```
       | ALTER TABLE multipartIdentifier
           ADD (COLUMN | COLUMNS)
           columns=qualifiedColTypeWithPositionList                       
#addTableColumns
       | ALTER TABLE multipartIdentifier
           ADD (COLUMN | COLUMNS)
           '(' columns=qualifiedColTypeWithPositionList ')'               
#addTableColumns
   ```
   
   But it seems that only the following is the sql standard:
   ```
       | ALTER TABLE multipartIdentifier
           ADD COLUMN?
           column=qualifiedColTypeWithPosition 
   ```
   , and the following is Hive style:
   ```
       | ALTER TABLE multipartIdentifier
           ADD COLUMNS
           '(' columns=qualifiedColTypeWithPositionList ')' 
   ```
   Should we fix this as well? (if so, we can combine hive style ADD and 
REPLACE grammar easily as well.)
