The best thing to do would be to get involved. Log a jira case, write a test case for what you need, write a pull request perhaps starting from the current head of https://github.com/apache/calcite/pull/514. If you help push, all this will get committed at some point; we might need to rebase your pull request.
I don't have much patience for the "I need to do something quickly".
