David Mollitor commented on HIVE-23243:
---------------------------------------

Ya, I took a look at:

https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/master/ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/udf/UDFLike.java#L64

It generates a pretty complicated {{Pattern}} and I'm not sure why, but it 
generates a Regex and that is not compatible with DataNucleaus.

{quote}
Only the following regular expression patterns are required to be supported and 
are portable: global “(?i)” for case-insensitive matches; and “.” and “.*” for 
wild card matches. The pattern passed to matches must be a literal or parameter.
{quote}

I would rather see you change this {{UDFLike}} method to generate something 
that is DN-friendly or create a new method and continue to use the 
{{getDatabasesByPattern}} instead of making a new code path.
