Nicholas Chammas commented on SPARK-19248:
------------------------------------------
Testing this out, it looks like 2.1 shows the same behavior as 2.0.
If I test this out in pure Python, it looks like 1.6 has the correct behavior
and 2.0/2.1 are incorrect:
{code}
>>> import re
>>> re.sub(pattern='( |\.)*', repl='', string='.. 5. ')
'5'
{code}
> Regex_replace works in 1.6 but not in 2.0
> -----------------------------------------

> Key: SPARK-19248
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-19248
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 2.0.2
> Reporter: Lucas Tittmann
>
> We found an error in Spark 2.0.2 execution of Regex. Using PySpark In 1.6.2,
> we get the following, expected behaviour:
> {noformat}
> df = sqlContext.createDataFrame([('.. 5. ',)], ['col'])
> dfout = df.selectExpr(*["regexp_replace(col, '[ \.]*', '') AS col"]).collect()
> z.show(dfout)
> >>> [Row(col=u'5')]
> dfout2 = df.selectExpr(*["regexp_replace(col, '( |\.)*', '') AS
> col"]).collect()
> z.show(dfout2)
> >>> [Row(col=u'5')]
> {noformat}
> In Spark 2.0.2, with the same code, we get the following:
> {noformat}
> df = sqlContext.createDataFrame([('.. 5. ',)], ['col'])
> dfout = df.selectExpr(*["regexp_replace(col, '[ \.]*', '') AS col"]).collect()
> z.show(dfout)
> >>> [Row(col=u'5')]
> dfout2 = df.selectExpr(*["regexp_replace(col, '( |\.)*', '') AS
> col"]).collect()
> z.show(dfout2)
> >>> [Row(col=u'')]
> {noformat}
> As you can see, the second regex shows different behaviour depending on the
> Spark version. We checked the regex in Java, and both should be correct and
> work. Therefore, regex execution in 2.0.2 seems to be erroneous. I do not
> have the possibility to confirm in 2.1 at the moment.
