New issue 911 by dtab...@gmail.com: Grammar change needed for CREATE INDEX  
(no-op but less confusing)
https://code.google.com/p/asterixdb/issues/detail?id=911

Right now the IndexSpecification is:

     IndexSpecification ::= "index" Identifier IfNotExists "on" QualifiedName
                            "(" ( OpenField ) ( "," OpenField )* ")"  
( "type" IndexType )? ( "enforced" )?
     IndexType          ::= "btree"
                          | "rtree"
                          | "keyword"
                          | "ngram" "(" IntegerLiteral ")"

There is no reason (and it's confusing IMO) to say OpenField - this is  
actually ANY field, not just any OPEN field.  The grammar probably said  
Field before and should be reverted to that - and the documentation should  
also be updated accordingly.
