> Building on CASSANDRA-16398, for users upgrading from 3.0 to 4.0 there have been a few new reserved keywords added that can cause problems with schema changes and queries in existing applications. Reducing the number of new reserved words makes upgrades easier for users.
> {code:java}
> K_DEFAULT
> K_MBEAN
> K_MBEANS
> K_NEGATIVE_INFINITY
> K_NEGATIVE_NAN
> K_POSITIVE_INFINITY
> K_POSITIVE_NAN
> K_REPLACE
> K_SCHEMA
> K_UNSET
> {code}
> I think they can all be removed from the ReservedWords lists (where present) and added to {{basic_unreserved_keyword}} with the exception of the {\{NAN}} and \{{INFINITY}} as there could be ambiguity between a selected field and a nan/infinity literal.
> To validate I've written a test that extracts the keywords from the parser tokens and verifies that any non-reserved keywords can be used as table and column names for regular tables and materialized views. It isn't exhaustive but provides a good sense check.
