What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Fixes "Can't drop top level columns that contain dots".
This work is based on @dilipbiswal's #10943.
This PR fixes problems like:
drop(columnName)can only be used to drop top level column, so, we should parse the column name literally WITHOUT interpreting dot "."We should also NOT interpret back tick "`", otherwise it is hard to understand what
actually means.
How was this patch tested?
Unit tests.
