             Summary: Expose list of Drill functions for consumption by JavaScript libraries
                 Key: DRILL-6084
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-6084
             Project: Apache Drill
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Web Server
            Reporter: Kunal Khatua
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: Future


DRILL-5868 introduces SQL highlighter and the auto-complete feature in the web-UI's query editor.
For the backend Javascript to highlight the keywords correctly as SQL reserved words or functions, it needs a list of all the Drill functions to be already defined in a source JavaScript ( {{../mode-sql.js}} ) .
While this works well for standard Drill functions, it means that any new function added to Drill needs to be explicitly hard-coded into the file, rather than be programatically discovered and loaded for the library to highlight.

It would help if this can be done dynamically without contributors having to explicitly alter the script file to add new function names.
