[hibernate-dev] New parser bugs reported: HQLPARSER vs HHH ?

[Sanne Grinovero]

A forum user had some trouble with the current HQL parser:

 https://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1030515

And since I've been slow to react, he went ahead and created a JIRA; I
think he's right about this, still then - as you can see from his
latest post - he felt unsure on where to open it, and it became
HQLPARSER-35.

Since this is about the current parser, he's probably in the wrong
place, and there is a risk that the ORM team won't notice timely? but
I don't think I can blame him as it's probably confusing.

My first impulse was to jump on JIRA and see if I could enable some
big fat warning on HQLPARSER to explain the difference, but actually
maybe it's better if the ORM team could start looking at new issues in
there as _actual_ issues?

I'm thinking that while HQLPARSER matures, it should also incorporate
fixes/tests happening on the mainline parser: if there was a single
place to track defects of both I could "catch up" on ORM improvements
when working on it.

So... should I move HQLPARSER-35 to HHH, or shall we leave it there ?
Maybe better to duplicate the issues?

I'm voting for duplication, as they require either a fix or at least a
test applied to both projects, and we probably want to keep lifecycle
independent for a while longer.
