Description

When it started Hive's SQL dialect was far enough from standard SQL that the developers called it HQL or HiveQL.

Over the years Hive's SQL dialect has matured. It still has some oddities but it is explicitly pushing towards SQL 2011 conformance. Calling the language anything but SQL now is confusing for users.

In addition to changing the website I propose to make changes in the wiki.
