This expression language supports the following operators (listed in decreasing order of precedence).
|Operators|Description|
|---------|-----------|
|!, -|Unary NOT and Minus|
|^|Binary power op|
|*, /, %|Binary multiplicative|
|+, -|Binary additive|
|<, <=, >, >=, ==, !=|Binary Comparison|
|&&,\|\||Binary Logical AND, OR|
Long, double, and string data types are supported. If a number contains a dot, it is interpreted as a double, otherwise it is interpreted as a long. That means, always add a '.' to your number if you want it interpreted as a double value. String literals should be quoted by single quotation marks.
Multi-value types are not fully supported yet. Expressions may behave inconsistently on multi-value types, and you
should not rely on the behavior in this case to stay the same in future releases.
Expressions can contain variables. Variable names may contain letters, digits, '\_' and '$'. Variable names must not begin with a digit. To escape other special characters, you can quote it with double quotation marks.
For logical operators, a number is true if and only if it is positive (0 or negative value means false). For string type, it's the evaluation result of 'Boolean.valueOf(string)'.
The following built-in functions are available.
## General functions
|name|description|
|----|-----------|
|cast|cast(expr,'LONG' or 'DOUBLE' or 'STRING') returns expr with specified type. exception can be thrown |
|if|if(predicate,then,else) returns 'then' if 'predicate' evaluates to a positive number, otherwise it returns 'else' |
|nvl|nvl(expr,expr-for-null) returns 'expr-for-null' if 'expr' is null (or empty string for string type) |
|like|like(expr, pattern[, escape]) is equivalent to SQL `expr LIKE pattern`|
|case_searched|case_searched(expr1, result1, \[\[expr2, result2, ...\], else-result\])|
|case_simple|case_simple(expr, value1, result1, \[\[value2, result2, ...\], else-result\])|
## String functions
|name|description|
|----|-----------|
|concat|concatenate a list of strings|
|like|like(expr, pattern[, escape]) is equivalent to SQL `expr LIKE pattern`|
|lookup|lookup(expr, lookup-name) looks up expr in a registered [query-time lookup](lookups.html)|
|regexp_extract|regexp_extract(expr, pattern[, index]) applies a regular expression pattern and extracts a capture group index, or null if there is no match. If index is unspecified or zero, returns the substring that matched the pattern.|
|replace|replace(expr, pattern, replacement) replaces pattern with replacement|
|substring|substring(expr, index, length) behaves like java.lang.String's substring|
|strlen|strlen(expr) returns length of a string in UTF-16 code units|
|strpos|strpos(haystack, needle) returns the position of the needle within the haystack, with indexes starting from 0. If the needle is not found then the function returns -1.|
|trim|trim(expr[, chars]) remove leading and trailing characters from `expr` if they are present in `chars`. `chars` defaults to ' ' (space) if not provided.|
|ltrim|ltrim(expr[, chars]) remove leading characters from `expr` if they are present in `chars`. `chars` defaults to ' ' (space) if not provided.|
|rtrim|rtrim(expr[, chars]) remove trailing characters from `expr` if they are present in `chars`. `chars` defaults to ' ' (space) if not provided.|
|lower|lower(expr) converts a string to lowercase|
|upper|upper(expr) converts a string to uppercase|
## Time functions
|name|description|
|----|-----------|
|timestamp|timestamp(expr[,format-string]) parses string expr into date then returns milli-seconds from java epoch. without 'format-string' it's regarded as ISO datetime format |
|unix_timestamp|same with 'timestamp' function but returns seconds instead |
|timestamp_ceil|timestamp_ceil(expr, period, \[origin, \[timezone\]\]) rounds up a timestamp, returning it as a new timestamp. Period can be any ISO8601 period, like P3M (quarters) or PT12H (half-days). The time zone, if provided, should be a time zone name like "America/Los_Angeles" or offset like "-08:00".|
|timestamp_floor|timestamp_floor(expr, period, \[origin, [timezone\]\]) rounds down a timestamp, returning it as a new timestamp. Period can be any ISO8601 period, like P3M (quarters) or PT12H (half-days). The time zone, if provided, should be a time zone name like "America/Los_Angeles" or offset like "-08:00".|
|timestamp_shift|timestamp_shift(expr, period, step, \[timezone\]) shifts a timestamp by a period (step times), returning it as a new timestamp. Period can be any ISO8601 period. Step may be negative. The time zone, if provided, should be a time zone name like "America/Los_Angeles" or offset like "-08:00".|
|timestamp_extract|timestamp_extract(expr, unit, \[timezone\]) extracts a time part from expr, returning it as a number. Unit can be EPOCH, SECOND, MINUTE, HOUR, DAY (day of month), DOW (day of week), DOY (day of year), WEEK (week of [week year](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_week_date)), MONTH (1 through 12), QUARTER (1 through 4), or YEAR. The time zone, if provided, should be a time zone name like "America/Los_Angeles" or offset like "-08:00"|
|timestamp_parse|timestamp_parse(string expr, \[pattern, [timezone\]\]) parses a string into a timestamp using a given [Joda DateTimeFormat pattern](http://www.joda.org/joda-time/apidocs/org/joda/time/format/DateTimeFormat.html), or ISO8601 if the pattern is not provided. The time zone, if provided, should be a time zone name like "America/Los_Angeles" or offset like "-08:00", and will be used as the time zone for strings that do not include a time zone offset. Pattern and time zone must be literals. Strings that cannot be parsed as timestamps will be returned as nulls.|
|timestamp_format|timestamp_format(expr, \[pattern, \[timezone\]\]) formats a timestamp as a string with a given [Joda DateTimeFormat pattern](http://www.joda.org/joda-time/apidocs/org/joda/time/format/DateTimeFormat.html), or ISO8601 if the pattern is not provided. The time zone, if provided, should be a time zone name like "America/Los_Angeles" or offset like "-08:00". Pattern and time zone must be literals.|
