Description

Impala Parser issue when using fully qualified table names that start with a number.
What is going wrong is that Impala is parsing the table name as a floating point literal since the text starts with a number and contains a period.

INVALIDATE METADATA db.571_market; 
Query: invalidate METADATA db.571_market 
ERROR: AnalysisException: Syntax error in line 1:
