---------------------------------------------

             Summary: REGEXP_REPLACE doc. says POSIX reg. expr.; which? not 
Java?
                 Key: DRILL-3697
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-3697
             Project: Apache Drill
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Daniel Barclay (Drill)


The {{REGEXP_REPLACE}} function documentation currently at 
[https://drill.apache.org/docs/string-manipulation/#regexp_replace] says that 
{{REGEXP_REPLACE}} uses POSIX regular expressions.  

Is that true (that Drill using POSIX regular expressions and not Java regular 
expressions)?

If that's really true, are they BREs or EREs?

Assuming it's actually Java regular expressions, the documentation should 
probably have a link to some appropriate target in the JDK Java doc (maybe 
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html and 
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/regex/Matcher.html#replaceAll-java.lang.String-.
