This patch adds the parsing for the "CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW" statement,
following Cassandra 3 syntax. For example:
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW building_by_city
AS SELECT * FROM buildings
WHERE city IS NOT NULL
PRIMARY KEY(city, name);
It also adds the "IS NOT NULL" operator needed for this purpose.
As in Cassandra, "IS NOT NULL" can only be used for materialized
view creation, and not in a normal SELECT. It can only be used with
the NULL operand (i.e., "IS NOT 3" will be a syntax error).
The current implementation of this statement just does some sanity
checking (such as to verify that "city" is a valid column name and that
the "building" base table exists), complains that materialized views are
not yet supported:
SyntaxException: <ErrorMessage code=2000 [Syntax error in CQL query] message="Failed parsing statement: [CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW building_by_city AS
SELECT * FROM buildings
WHERE city IS NOT NULL
PRIMARY KEY(city, name);] reason: unsupported operation: Materialized views not yet supported">
As mentioned above, the "IS NOT NULL" restriction is not allowed in
ordinary selects not creating a materialized views:
SELECT * FROM buildings WHERE city IS NOT NULL;
InvalidRequest: code=2200 [Invalid query] message="restriction 'city IS NOT null' is only supported in materialized view creation"
