Issue

This Content is from Stack Overflow. Question asked by zhangzhexin

I want to write a regex for spark SQL to return the rows which contain 3 digitals or more than 3 digitals against some column.

for example:

with temp as (

    select '12' col
    union
    select '12a' col
    union
    select '1234' col  --need to return
    union
    select 'ab234' col --need to return
    union
    select '33345abc' col --need to return
)
select col from temp
where col regexp '.*\d{3,}'

when I run this script in spark SQL, I got no results.

so, is there any logic error for my expexp expression?

but I test it in Hive SQL, it works fine.
