Description

CASSANDRA-7395 (2.2) added “replace” as a reserved word into CQL which causes client facing outages upgrading from 2.1 to 3.x.  The reserved word is not needed as a reserved word as parsing works just fine removing it from reserved.

To help upgrade users to the 3.x and 4.x lines, we should remove “replace” from the reserved word list.
