[~meenu]
Please review the patch submitted. I have seen ample number of bugs in the
current version of the patch.
eg:
String null, length 3
String "teststring", length 200
String "test", length -1
...
Do take time and fix these bugs and add new patch file.

> Introduction
> UDF (User Defined Function) to obtain the rightmost 'n' characters from
> a string in HIVE.
> Relevance
> Current releases of Hive lacks a function which would returns the
> rightmost len characters from the string str, or NULL if any argument is
> NULL. The function LEFT(string,length) would return the rightmost 'length'
> characters from the string 'string' , or NULL if any argument is NULL which
> would be useful while using HiveQL. This would find its use in all the
> technical aspects where the concept of strings are used.
> Functionality :-
> Function Name: RIGHT(string,length)
>
> Returns the rightmost 'length' characters from the string or NULL if any
> argument is NULL.
> Example: hive>SELECT LEFT('https://www.irctc.com',3);
> -> 'com'
> Usage :-
> Case 1: To query a table to find details based on an https request
> Table :-Transaction
> Request_id|date|period_id|url_name
