Olaf Flebbe updated HIVE-12417:
-------------------------------
Description:
with HIVE-6013 gets support for regular expressions. However, die ! character
is valid, too. It is needed for expressions like
{code}
set hive.support.quoted.identifiers = none;
select `^(?!donotuseme).*$` from table;
{code}
which is the idiom to select all but column {{donotuseme}} .
See http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html for a
reference of supported chars in Java regexp.
The patch simply fixes the lexer to support '!' as REGEX char. And does simply
work.
Please review.
If you like to have an iTest for it, I beg you to help me. I tried several days
on a different issue to figure out how it is supposed to work and failed
miserably.
