    Description

      This is a follow-up ticket from HIVE-13557

      The following interval syntaxes are not yet supported:

      1) interval keyword with expression without paraentheneses:
      select date('2011-11-11') + INTERVAL dt SECONDS from table
      2) the same without the INTERVAL keyword
      select date('2011-11-11') + dt SECONDS from table

      however, using paraentheneses it is supported
      select date('2011-11-11') + INTERVAL (dt) SECONDS from table
      and
      select date('2011-11-11') + (dt) SECONDS from table

      My notes about these:

      1) I've bumped into parser troubles implementing it because antlr was not able to create a valid parser; because it "thinked" about usescases like this:
      INTERVAL 1+INTERVAL 1 SECONDS SECONDS
      which is of course invalid...but because andlr have seen an expression inside...it made it loose the track of the SECONDS (I think).

      2) is not required to be compliant with the standard - and I it may also lead to confusion:
      1 + dt SECONDS is 1+(1 SECONDS) or (1+1) SECONDS
      however supporting <tableOrColReferences> SECONDS
      might be possible - and "just enough" to be convinient to the user.
