You can try writing the mapreduce job for this. In the Job, you can filter the records in Mapper based on the where condition regex and then perform the join in the Reducer.
Please refer the classes present in hadoop-datajoin module to get an idea how to implement the join job.

I have create volatile solution, to create two external hive table and full join of them and after full join,I use regex function in where case. but, it takes too long. because hive does not support regex based join conditions. how do I do this operation in hadoop or have you implement MR job( in hive,pig, java) like this? or any advice? thanks.
