Thanks for starting this thread. Last I checked, Aman Raj was driving the backports for branch-3. The tracking ticket for this effort was https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-26751 However, I don't see recent activity on that ticket so I am not sure if they are actively working on this anymore. If not, we should consider if we can make a release out of branch-3 head.
