Case statements doesn't work in kibana canvas. I am using Kibana 6.8.3. Does it support case? For instance the below query giving me weird errors. Like below: Expression failed with the message: > [essql] Couldnt parse Elasticsearch SQL query. You may need to add double quotes to names containing special characters etc. `Select case when 0>1 then 'hi' end.` ---

@Minisha_M The [earliest version in which `CASE WHEN` is available is 7.2.0](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/41349). This is probably the reason why it doesn't work in 6.8.3. ---
