                 Key: HIVE-556
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-556
             Project: Hadoop Hive
          Issue Type: New Feature
    Affects Versions: 0.4.0
            Reporter: Min Zhou
             Fix For: 0.4.0


Right now , hive only support equal joins .  Somethings it's not enough, we 
must consider implementing theta joins like

{code:sql}
SELECT
  a.subid, a.id, t.url
FROM
  tbl t JOIN aux_tbl a ON t.url rlike a.url_pattern
WHERE
  t.dt='20090609'
  AND a.dt='20090609';
{code}

any condition expression following 'ON' is  appropriate.
