Rather than put that code in hive/contrib I was thinking that you could just backport the Hive 2.2 UDFs into the same locations in Hive 1 branch. That seems better than putting them into different locations on different branches.
If you are willing to do the porting and post the patches (including relevant unit tests so we know they work) I and other Hive committers can review the patches and commit them to branch-1. Alan.
