Eduard, Your contribution is highly welcome. I am aware of this OData V3 client code and it is really valuable to have this with Olingo.
>From my knowledge there are some formal aspects required for each Apache contribution. Maybe mentors can hook in if I miss something. Before you can contribute you have to sign a software grant an sent it to Apache. For details see [1] and [2]. After that you can create a Jira issue [3] and attach the source code as a zip or patch file to it. For example have a look into our initial source contribution [4]. We also need a list of committers who want to join Apache Olingo. Each of then has to sign a individual contributor license agreement (ICLA) [5] and send it to Apache for getting a user account. Francesco mentioned already that Olingo has started to work on OData 4.0 (EDM, ANTLR based URI parser) and your code will fit here. Apart of the formal aspects above I suggest to have separated discussion how we can achieve this technically. Let us know if you have more questions to this.
