When executing a query of the form
Select (a)?. from A,
Hive interprets this query as a regular expression, which can be supported in the hive parser for spark

If a columns is specified in backticks (eg. (ds)?+.+), the hive parser will treat that as a regular expression and 'expand' the columns similar to a *, on columns that match the regex.
