This seems to work just fine in other SQLs, but doesn't seem work in hive. 

I need to have several wild card characters in my 'like' clause as follows.

In other SQLs, I want:  ....  where page_url_query like '%?icid=main%dl%'

But in Hive that doesn't match.  I have several work arounds.  I can write it 
as:

 where (page_url_query like '%?icid=main%')  and (page_url_query like '%dl%')

or, I can just use something like where length(regexp_extract(page__url_query, 
'.*\?cdid-main.*dl.*',0) <> 0

But more important is two or more '%' wild cards in a Hive like expression a 
known issue?
