Kunal Khatua commented on DRILL-5697:
-------------------------------------
It's odd that the RE2 library would perform worse than the Java Regex Library.
Is it significantly worse? Perhaps RE2 makes up for more complex patterns,
which these example would probably not cover.
> Improve performance of filter operator for pattern matching

> Project: Apache Drill
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Execution - Flow
> Affects Versions: 1.11.0
> Reporter: Padma Penumarthy
> Assignee: Padma Penumarthy
>
> Queries using filter with sql like operator use Java regex library for
> pattern matching. However, for cases like %abc (ends with abc), abc% (starts
> with abc), %abc% (contains abc), it is observed that implementing these cases
> with simple code instead of using regex library provides good performance
> boost (4-6x). Idea is to use special case code for simple, common cases and
> fall back to Java regex library for complicated ones. That will provide good
> performance benefit for most common cases.
