Hi Karthik, Welcome! My first Hive JIRA was a UDF (User Defined Functions) - HIVE-2418
I personally believe starting off with UDFs is a great and relatively easy way to start contributing to Hive. I did a quick search for UDF related JIRAs: https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20HIVE%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20AND%20text%20~%20%22udfs%22 and here are a few JIRAs that I think might be useful. If it's claimed by someone else and you want to do it and haven't seen activity for a while, request them on the JIRA if you could take over. Otherwise, take an unassigned JIRA. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2361 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2482 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2710 (I think this would be an excellent first JIRA) https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-686 Do let us know if you have any other questions.
