John Omernik created HIVE-3979: ---------------------------------- Summary: Provide syntax for unescaped regex on rlike, and other regexp_* functions Key: HIVE-3979 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3979 Project: Hive Issue Type: New Feature Components: UDF Affects Versions: 0.10.0 Environment: All Queries, JDBC and cli Reporter: John Omernik Fix For: 0.11.0
To make hive more intuitive, can we provide a syntax for hive functions that when encompassing a regex, that regex doesn't have to the standard hive double escape? For example column rlike '\\d{1,3}\\.\\d{1,3}\\.\\d{1,3}\\.\\d{1,3}' could become column rlike '/\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}/' In this case, just using PERL's regex brackets, but could be anything... The point is to be able to take a standard JAVA/Perl type regex and cut and paste it into a query. This would allow for faster query development, more mainstream adoption by those with regex experience, and intuitive transition to hive query writing. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
