             Summary: Difference between single and double quotes not clear and 
error messages are opaque
                 Key: DRILL-197
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-197
             Project: Apache Drill
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Ted Dunning


The following query fails:

{code}
select _MAP["N_REGIONKEY"] 
from "nation.parquet"
{code}

but the following very similar query succeeds:

{code}
select _MAP['N_REGIONKEY'] 
from "nation.parquet"
{code}

The difference is in the use of single or double quotes for the index of 
{{_MAP}}

I certainly don't know what the difference is here, but it seems important to 
either resolve or document.

Conversely, this query also fails, but this time because double quotes *have* 
to be used.

{code}
select _MAP['N_REGIONKEY'] 
from 'nation.parquet';
{code}

This is pretty perverse.
