Mark Wagner commented on HIVE-2482:
-----------------------------------
I'm aware of .q files and have used them before, but I figured that UDFs are
nice and isolated so a unit test is more appropriate. I didn't realize all the
other UDFs had their own .q tests. I'll update with a .q test.

> * UDF's to convert to/from hex string
