What changes were proposed in this pull request?
LIKE is commonly used in SHOW TABLES / FUNCTIONS etc DDL. In the pattern, user can use
|or*as wildcards.replaceAll()to replace*with.*, but the replacement was scattered in several places; I have created an utility method and use it in all the places;SHOW TABLES LIKE ' T* 'will list all the t-tables. Please use Hive to verify it.|, the result will be sorted. For pattern like' B*|a* ', it will list the result in a-b order.I've made some changes to the utility method to make sure we will get the same result as Hive does.
How was this patch tested?
A new method was created in StringUtil and test cases were added.
