[jira] [Commented] (HIVE-2594) UDF LIKE can't handle literal '\' before '%'

["Navis (Commented) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2594?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13163409#comment-13163409 ] 

Navis commented on HIVE-2594:
-----------------------------

It's interesting.. Literals are decoded like below.
{code}
'aaa\%' --> 'aaa\%'
'aaa\\%' --> 'aaa\%'
'aaa\\\%' --> 'aaa\\%'
'aaa\\\\%' --> 'aaa\\%'
{code}

Basically all literals are escaped in SemanticAnalyzer. So other entities like 'UDFLike' might not have to try escape, IMHO. But BaseSemanticAnalyzer#unescapeSQLString keeps preceding back slash as-is in some cases like 'bs%' or 'bs_' which make impossible to identify whether it(=bs) is a escape or a character.
