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

Yeah, I was thinking of first implementing for table names regex.
show tables \*abc\*;
show tables '\*abc\*';
show tables "\*abc\*";
show tables *ab*c;
where * will not be any letter in table name.
Please tell me your views on this.

> Within a database, to filter for tables with the string 'abc' in its name, I 
> can use something like:
> {code:java}
> hive> use my_database;
> hive> show tables '*abc*';
> {code}
> It would be great if I can do something similar to search within the list of 
> columns in a table.
> I have a table with around 3200 columns. Searching for the column of interest 
> is an onerous task after doing a describe on it.
