For anyone stumbling across this thread the (pretty much) working UDTF
can be seen:
  
http://code.google.com/p/gbif-occurrencestore/source/browse/trunk/occurrence-spatial/src/main/java/org/gbif/occurrence/spatial/udf/TaxonDensityUDTF.java

allowing for the following query:

create table taxon_density as
select taxonId,tileX,tileY,zoom,clusterX,clusterY,sum(count) from
occurrence_record lateral view taxonDensityUDTF(kingdom_concept_id,
phylum_concept_id, class_concept_id, order_concept_id,
family_concept_id, genus_concept_id,
species_concept_id,nub_concept_id, latitude, longitude, 10) e
as taxonId,tileX,tileY,zoom,clusterX,clusterY,count
group by taxonId,tileX,tileY,zoom,clusterX,clusterY;

Thanks again for the pointers Sonal and Namit, and also on the other thread,

Tim
