    Description

      I propose the addition of two new Hive UDAF to help with maps in Apache Hive. The source code is available on GitHub at https://github.com/wdavidw/hive-udf in two Java classes: "UDAFToMap" and "UDAFToOrderedMap". The first function convert an aggregation into a map and is internally using a Java `HashMap`. The second function extends the first one. It convert an aggregation into an ordered map and is internally using a Java `TreeMap`. They both extends the `AbstractGenericUDAFResolver` class.

      Also, I have covered the motivations and usages of those UDAF in a blog post at http://adaltas.com/blog/2012/03/06/hive-udaf-map-conversion/

      The full patch is available with tests as well.
