------------------------------------
[~waterman] are you still working on this? It is fine if you are not - there are other people asking me about whether they could work on this issue.

> I'm creating an umbrella ticket to improve regular expression performance for string expressions. Right now our use of regular expressions is inefficient for two reasons:
> 1. Java regex in general is slow.
> 2. We have to convert everything from UTF8 encoded bytes into Java String, and then run regex on it, and then convert it back.
> There are libraries in Java that provide regex support directly on UTF8 encoded bytes. One prominent example is joni, used in JRuby.
> Note: all regex functions are in https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/sql/catalyst/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/catalyst/expressions/stringOperations.scala
