Reynold Xin commented on SPARK-9213:
------------------------------------
We just need to handle it in the analyzer to rewrite it, and also pattern match
it in the optimizer. No need to handle it everywhere else, since the analyzer
will take care of the rewrite.

> I'm creating an umbrella ticket to improve regular expression performance for
> string expressions. Right now our use of regular expressions is inefficient
> for two reasons:
> 1. Java regex in general is slow.
> 2. We have to convert everything from UTF8 encoded bytes into Java String,
> and then run regex on it, and then convert it back.
> There are libraries in Java that provide regex support directly on UTF8
> encoded bytes. One prominent example is joni, used in JRuby.
> Note: all regex functions are in
