[jira] [Commented] (SPARK-17619) To add support for pattern matching in ArrayContains Expression.

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-17619?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15538078#comment-15538078 ] 

Reynold Xin commented on SPARK-17619:
-------------------------------------

It seems really strange to add support for this specific case, when it is doable via UDF. I'm going to close this as won't fix for now until we hear a stronger argument for it.

On a related topic, I think it'd be useful to have general support for array_exists that takes in a function as input, but that would require allowing lambda in SQL!

> Array Contains currently only matches the exact value as of now... there should be support for pattern matching as well. 
> For eg. arrayContains(Seq("\\d*", "\\s*"), "100") returns true.
