-----------------------------------
Never mind the question above, I notice that you have mentioned that the second
patch has "optimization 1,2 and dk.brics.automaton".
> PERFORMANCE: optimize common case in matches (PORegex)
> ------------------------------------------------------

> Key: PIG-965
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-965
> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: impl
> Reporter: Thejas M Nair
> Assignee: Ankit Modi
>
> Some frequently seen use cases of 'matches' comparison operator have follow
> properties -
> 1. The rhs is a constant string . eg "c1 matches 'abc%' "
> 2. Regexes such that look for matching prefix , suffix etc are very common.
> eg - "abc%', "%abc", '%abc%'
> To optimize for these common cases , PORegex.java can be changed to -
> 1. Compile the pattern (rhs of matches) re-use it if the pattern string has
> not changed.
> 2. Use string comparisons for simple common regexes (in 2 above).
> The implementation of Hive like clause uses similar optimizations.
