Description

Atm, key is not a reserved key word in ksqlDB. Thus users could use it as a name for streams/tables/columns etc. We should add key as a reserved key word though to make sure we can use it if we evolve the language further.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Find the grammar definition file in the ksqlDB codebase where reserved keywords are listed, and add 'key' to that list.
