Summary
Part of #173817
Up till now, we had to define our own lexer rules for our client-side ES|QL validation. This was because we were using an unofficial ANTLR package (before the official ANTLR had typescript support).
Now that we are using the official ANTLR library (as of #177211), we no longer have to encode case insensitivity into the lexer rules themselves because the
caseInsensitive
option is now available to us.This means we can adopt the very same definitions that Elasticsearch uses as long as we set
caseInsensitive
(Elasticsearch handles case insensitivity at runtime).Checklist
