> In Teradata 'like any' and 'like all' operators are mostly used when we are
> matching a text field with numbers of patterns.
> 'like any' and 'like all' operator are equivalents of multiple like operator
> like example below.
> {noformat}
> --like any
> select col1 from table1 where col2 like any ('%accountant%', '%accounting%',
> '%retail%', '%bank%', '%insurance%');
> --Can be written using multiple like condition
> select col1 from table1 where col2 like '%accountant%' or col2 like
> '%accounting%' or col2 like '%retail%' or col2 like '%bank%' or col2 like
> '%insurance%' ;
> --like all
> select col1 from table1 where col2 like all ('%accountant%', '%accounting%',
> '%retail%', '%bank%', '%insurance%');
> --Can be written using multiple like operator
> select col1 from table1 where col2 like '%accountant%' and col2 like
> '%accounting%' and col2 like '%retail%' and col2 like '%bank%' and col2 like
> '%insurance%' ;
> {noformat}
> Problem statement:
> Now a days so many data warehouse projects are being migrated from Teradata
> to Hive.
> Always Data engineer and Business analyst are searching for these two
> operator.
> If we introduce these two operator in hive then so many scripts will be
> migrated smoothly instead of converting these operators to multiple like
> operators.
> Result:
> 1. 'LIKE ANY' operator return true if a text(column value) matches to any
> pattern.
> 2. 'LIKE ALL' operator return true if a text(column value) matches to all
> patterns.
> 3. 'LIKE ANY' and 'LIKE ALL' returns NULL not only if the expression on the
> left hand side is NULL, but also if one of the pattern in the list is NULL.
