Hi, I was facing the same problem few weeks ago. The final solution was quick and dirty - I grabbed the code for this UDF from http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/hive/trunk/ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/udf/generic/GenericUDFConcatWS.java?revision=1234150&view=markup&pathrev=1234150and compiled it the same way as my other UDFs.
The only part that doesn't work with hive 0.7 is the argument type checking in initialize() method because of serdeConstants were not available in this version. The dirty part of the solution is that I just commented out all but last two lines of this method and the serdeConstants import :-) As long as you don't pass wrong arguments to it, it works fine, otherwise you get an error at runtime, while proper code should refuse to even compile the query.
