[jira] [Updated] (HIVE-664) optimize UDF split

["Teddy Choi (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-664?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Teddy Choi updated HIVE-664:
----------------------------
    Attachment: HIVE-664.4.patch

I applied [~navis]'s feedback. Most of SPLIT calls would use a constant value for its regular expression. So I optimized SPLIT for this use case.

> It's very useful for us .
> some comments:
>    1. Can you implement it directly with Text ? Avoiding string decoding and encoding would be faster. Of course that trick may lead to another problem, as String.split uses a regular expression for splitting.
>    2. getDisplayString() always return a string in lowercase.

> There are some easy (compromise) ways to optimize split:
> 1. Check if the regex argument actually contains some "regex specific characters" and if it doesn't, do a straightforward split without converting to strings.
> 2. Assume some default value for the second argument (for example - split(str) to be equivalent to split(str, ' ') and optimize for this value
> 3. Have two separate split functions - one that does regex and one that splits around plain text.
> I think that 1 is a good choice and can be done rather quickly.
