/**
 * This validator is responsible to gather the problems found in a JPQL query by validating the
 * content to make sure it is semantically valid for EclipseLink. The grammar is not validated by
 * this visitor.
 * <p>
 * For instance, the function <b>AVG</b> accepts a state field path. The property it represents has
 * to be of numeric type. <b>AVG(e.name)</b> is parsable but is not semantically valid because the
 * type of name is a string (the property signature is: "<code>private String name</code>").
 * <p>
 * <b>Note:</b> EclipseLink does not validate types, but leaves it to the database. This is because
 * some databases such as Oracle allow different types to different functions and perform implicit
 * type conversion. i.e. <code>CONCAT('test', 2)</code> returns <code>'test2'</code>. Also the
 * <b>FUNC</b> function has an unknown type, so should be allowed with any function.
 * <p>
 * Provisional API: This interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and
 * expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is available at this early stage
 * to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this
 * API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.
