Nick Nicolini updated SPARK-24884:
----------------------------------
Description:
I've recently hit many cases of regexp parsing where we need to match on
something that is always arbitrary in length; for example, a text block that
looks something like:
{code:java}
AAA:WORDS|
BBB:TEXT|
MSG:ASDF|
MSG:QWER|
...
MSG:ZXCV|{code}
Where I need to pull out all values between "MSG:" and "|", which can occur in
each instance between 1 and n times. I cannot reliably use the existing
_regexp_extract_ method since the number of occurrences is always arbitrary,
and while I can write a UDF to handle this it'd be great if this was supported
natively in Spark.
Perhaps we can implement something like _regexp_extract_all_ as
[Presto|https://prestodb.io/docs/current/functions/regexp.html] and
[Pig|https://pig.apache.org/docs/latest/api/org/apache/pig/builtin/REGEX_EXTRACT_ALL.html]
have?

*no* further _formatting_ is done here{noformat}
