> Do you think "extract_regex" is the right term for this function? Something else? In pandas, this is called "extract" (https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/reference/api/pandas.Series.str.extract.html), so from that point of view this is a good name. In `re`, I think one would use `re.search`, but that's basically both used for "match" as for "extract" purposes, so I think "extract" is a better name for the kernel in this PR. The `_regex` might be a bit superfluous, as there is no variant without regex (but on the other hand it explicitly signals it is using regular expressions). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
