Viktor Gerdin commented on HIVE-2409:
-------------------------------------
This is still an issue (Hive version 1.2.1.2.4 via HDP 2.4).
> Semicolons in strings/comments are parsed as query-ending.

> Key: HIVE-2409
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2409
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Query Processor
> Reporter: Adam Kramer
>
> This fails:
> select '.*? (f_.*?)[ ;$]' from akramer_one_row ;
> This succeeds:
> select '.*? (f_.*?)[ \;$]' from akramer_one_row ;
> ...there is no reasonable syntactic structure that wuold require the escaping
> of a semicolon in a '-marked string. The query parser should NOT split on
> semicolons that are in strings OR in comments.
