   In Hive we enabled  this in [HIVE-25344](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-25344):
   ```
   SELECT * FROM t FOR SYSTEM_TIME AS OF <timestamp>;
   SELECT * FROM t FOR SYSTEM_VERSION AS OF <version>;
   ```
   
   Having different ways to do time travel with different engines will cause confusion for the users. Would it be good to keep the standard SQL syntax as we did in Hive?
