from the above contect i nees to get only the partitioned column name and type.
for the above example i want to get details as follows :



col_name = cluster_name, type = string
rptg_dt= cluster_name, type = string


what i have tried is given below buyt it is returning None:



partitionResult = re.match(r"PARTITIONEDsw+s((n){2}",line)
if partitionResult == None:
pass
else:
print(partitionResult.group(1),sep='t')


can anyone please suggest what to do?

          Here is a solution that uses G (continue from the start or previous match) to match an arbitrary number of cluster cols/types:



          Online Test (needs to run in PCRE)



          Sample Code (requires alternative regex package for Python)



          import regex as re

          regex = r"(?|PARTITIONEDs+BYs+(s+`(w+)`s+(w+),?|Gs*`(w+)`s+(w+),?)K"

          test_str = ("CREATE TABLE `cluster_diagnostic_report`(n"
          " `run_id` string COMMENT 'format: <hostname>_<datetime> - to uniquely identify the a particular execution instance of Cluster Diag job',n"
          " `execution_hostname` string COMMENT 'Machine Name from where Test Case Executed',n"
          " `module` string COMMENT 'Test Case Module',n"
          " `expected_result` string COMMENT 'Test Case Module expected Result',n"
          " `actual_result` string COMMENT 'Test Case Module actual Result',n"
          " `validation_result` string COMMENT 'Test Case Module validation Result',n"
          " `start_time` string COMMENT 'Test Case Module Start Time',n"
          " `end_time` string COMMENT 'Test Case Module Elapsed Time',n"
          " `elapsed_time` string COMMENT 'from deserializer',n"
          " `total_time_seconds` int COMMENT 'total elapsed time for this step')n"
          "PARTITIONED BY (n"
          " `cluster_name` string,n"
          " `cluster_name2` string,`rptg_dt` string,n"
          "`cluster_name2` string,)n"
          "ROW FORMAT SERDEn"
          " 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.orc.OrcSerde'")

          matches = re.finditer(regex, test_str, re.MULTILINE)

          for matchNum, match in enumerate(matches):
          for groupNum in range(0, len(match.groups())):
          groupNum = groupNum + 1

          print ("Group {groupNum} found at {start}-{end}: {group}".format(groupNum = groupNum, start = match.start(groupNum), end = match.end(groupNum), group = match.group(groupNum)))


          Output:



          Group 1 found at 789-801: cluster_name
          Group 2 found at 803-809: string
          Group 1 found at 813-826: cluster_name2
          Group 2 found at 828-834: string
          Group 1 found at 836-843: rptg_dt
          Group 2 found at 845-851: string
          Group 1 found at 854-867: cluster_name2
          Group 2 found at 869-875: string

          • @c0der Many roads lead to Rome. I have suggested a solution to your original post that allows you to get multiple PARTITIONED BY blocks in a file (just read the entire file as string) and I'd rather like to stay on topic. Please ask a new question if required.

          Make use of positive look ahead and look behind (Example):



          pat = re.compile(r'(?<=PARTITIONED BY (n)(.*)(?=))', re.S)
          # Look behind for "PARTITIONED BY (" and look ahead to ")"
          # use the re.S flag to match across lines with .*

          results = pat.search(text).group()

          # ' `cluster_name` string,n `rptg_dt` string'

          # ... do what you need with the strings.

          [i.lstrip() for i in results.split('n')]
          # ['`cluster_name` string,',
          # '`rptg_dt` string']

            • @c0der Many roads lead to Rome. I have suggested a solution to your original post that allows you to get multiple PARTITIONED BY blocks in a file (just read the entire file as string) and I'd rather like to stay on topic. Please ask a new question if required.

            Here is a solution that uses G (continue from the start or previous match) to match an arbitrary number of cluster cols/types:



            Online Test (needs to run in PCRE)



            Sample Code (requires alternative regex package for Python)



            import regex as re

            regex = r"(?|PARTITIONEDs+BYs+(s+`(w+)`s+(w+),?|Gs*`(w+)`s+(w+),?)K"

            test_str = ("CREATE TABLE `cluster_diagnostic_report`(n"
            " `run_id` string COMMENT 'format: <hostname>_<datetime> - to uniquely identify the a particular execution instance of Cluster Diag job',n"
            " `execution_hostname` string COMMENT 'Machine Name from where Test Case Executed',n"
            " `module` string COMMENT 'Test Case Module',n"
            " `expected_result` string COMMENT 'Test Case Module expected Result',n"
            " `actual_result` string COMMENT 'Test Case Module actual Result',n"
            " `validation_result` string COMMENT 'Test Case Module validation Result',n"
            " `start_time` string COMMENT 'Test Case Module Start Time',n"
            " `end_time` string COMMENT 'Test Case Module Elapsed Time',n"
            " `elapsed_time` string COMMENT 'from deserializer',n"
            " `total_time_seconds` int COMMENT 'total elapsed time for this step')n"
            "PARTITIONED BY (n"
            " `cluster_name` string,n"
            " `cluster_name2` string,`rptg_dt` string,n"
            "`cluster_name2` string,)n"
            "ROW FORMAT SERDEn"
            " 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.orc.OrcSerde'")

            matches = re.finditer(regex, test_str, re.MULTILINE)

            for matchNum, match in enumerate(matches):
            for groupNum in range(0, len(match.groups())):
            groupNum = groupNum + 1

            print ("Group {groupNum} found at {start}-{end}: {group}".format(groupNum = groupNum, start = match.start(groupNum), end = match.end(groupNum), group = match.group(groupNum)))


            Output:



            Group 1 found at 789-801: cluster_name
            Group 2 found at 803-809: string
            Group 1 found at 813-826: cluster_name2

            Make use of positive look ahead and look behind (Example):



            pat = re.compile(r'(?<=PARTITIONED BY (n)(.*)(?=))', re.S)
            # Look behind for "PARTITIONED BY (" and look ahead to ")"
            # use the re.S flag to match across lines with .*

            results = pat.search(text).group()

            # ' `cluster_name` string,n `rptg_dt` string'

            # ... do what you need with the strings.
