[jira] [Updated] (PIG-3122) Operators should not implicitly become reserved keywords

["Alan Gates (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3122?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Alan Gates updated PIG-3122:
----------------------------

    Status: Open  (was: Patch Available)

Sorry Jonathan, but I think the checkin of the big decimal stuff totally broke this patch.  It fails all over the place in QueryParser.g and I'm not sure I'm putting it back together correctly.  Marking this as open pending a new patch being uploaded.

> As a byproduct of how ANTLR lexes things, whenever we introduce a new operator (RANK, CUBE, and any special keyword really) we are implicitly introducing a reserved word that can't be used for relations, columns, etc (unless give to us by the framework, as in the case of group).
> The following, for example, fails:
> {code}
> a = load 'foo' as (x:int);
> a = foreach a generate x as rank;
> {code}
> I'll include a patch to fix this essentially by whitelisting tokens. I currently just whitelist cube, rank, and group. We can add more as people want them? Can anyone think of reasonable ones they'd like to add?
