A dialect is a different way to interpret the same CQL statement. Examples: - how duplicate bind variable names are handled (later in this series) - whether `column = NULL` in LWT can return true (as is now) or whether it always returns NULL (as in SQL) Currently, dialect is an empty structure and will be filled in later. It is passed to query_processor methods that also accept a CQL string, and from there to the parser. It is part of the prepared statement cache key, so that if the dialect is changed online, previous parses of the statement are ignored and the statement is prepared again. The patch is careful to pick up the dialect at the entry point (e.g. CQL protocol server) so that the dialect doesn't change while a statement is parsed, prepared, and cached.
Scylla in-source tests.

If you can use an existing folder, consider adding your test to it. New folders should be used for new large categories/subsystems, or when the test environment is significantly different from some existing suite, e.g. you plan to start scylladb with different configuration, and you intend to add many tests and would like them to reuse an existing Scylla cluster (clusters can be reused for tests within the same folder).
To add a new folder, create a new directory, and then
copy & edit its suite.ini.
