Impala: Show tables like query
29,747
Solution 1
Execute from the shell and then filter
impala-shell -q "show tables in bank like '*cust*'" | grep -v 'quarter2'
Solution 2
Query the metastore
mysql -u root -p -e "select TBL_NAME from metastore.TBLS where TBL_NAME like '%cust%' and TBL_NAME not like '%quarter2%'";

Assume i have a Database

, and tables under this database are like below.cust_profile cust_quarter1_transaction cust_quarter2_transaction product_cust_xyz .... .... etc
Now i am filtering like
show tables in bank like '*cust*'
It is returning the expected results like, which are the tables has a word
cust
