select * fails on tables without alias
--------------------------------------

                 Key: HIVE-221
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-221
             Project: Hadoop Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Query Processor
            Reporter: S. Alex Smith
            Priority: Minor


The following query fails:
SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM tmp_asmith);              

Additionally, although the error message is frequently "... expected 
Identifies", in certain more complicated expressions this is not the case.  For 
example, in

SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM tmp_asmith UNION ALL SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM 
tmp_asmith)) t;  

the error message is "FAILED: Parse Error: line 1:41 mismatched input 'UNION' 
expecting )"
(but works fine if (SELECT * FROM tmp_asmith) is given an alias)
