     new e5e74534 Add comprehensive ORC read support to PyArrow I/O (#2432)
e5e74534 is described below

commit e5e74534a4938fcace2c782a237474b7e94da68c
Author: Tom <mccormick...@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Wed Sep 24 12:59:18 2025 -0400

    Add comprehensive ORC read support to PyArrow I/O (#2432)
    
    Features implemented:
    - Record batching and table reading via ArrowScan
    - Column projection and row filtering with predicate pushdown
    - Positional deletes support (with ORC-specific non-dictionary handling)
    - Schema mapping for files without field IDs
    - Streaming via Iterator[pa.RecordBatch] for memory efficiency
    - Full integration with Iceberg metadata and partitioning

+    Document and verify PyArrow's exact batching behavior for ORC files.
+    This test serves as comprehensive documentation of how PyArrow batches ORC 
files.
+
+    ORC BATCHING BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:
+    =============================
+
+    1. STRIPE-BASED BATCHING:
+       - PyArrow creates exactly 1 batch per ORC stripe
+       - This is similar to how Parquet creates 1 batch per row group
+       - Number of batches = Number of stripes in the ORC file
+
+    2. DEFAULT BEHAVIOR:
+       - Default ORC writing creates 1 stripe per file (64MB default stripe 
size)
+       - Therefore, most ORC files have 1 batch per file by default
+       - This is why many tests show "1 batch per file" behavior
+
+    3. CONFIGURABLE BATCHING:
+       - ORC CAN have multiple batches per file when configured with multiple 
stripes
+       - Use stripe_size parameter when writing ORC files to control batching
+       - stripe_size < 200KB: PyArrow ignores the parameter, uses default 1024 
rows per stripe
+       - stripe_size >= 200KB: PyArrow respects the parameter and creates 
stripes accordingly
+
+    4. PYARROW CONFIGURATION:
+       - PyIceberg sets buffer_size=8MB for both Parquet and ORC
+       - Parquet: Gets the 8MB buffer_size parameter (ds.ParquetFileFormat 
supports it)
+       - ORC: Ignores the 8MB buffer_size parameter (ds.OrcFileFormat doesn't 
support it)
+       - This means ORC uses PyArrow's default batching behavior (based on 
stripes)
+
+    5. KEY DIFFERENCES FROM PARQUET:
+       - Parquet: 1 FileScanTask → 1 File → 1 PyArrow Fragment → N Batches 
(based on row groups)
+       - ORC: 1 FileScanTask → 1 File → 1 PyArrow Fragment → N Batches (based 
on stripes)
+       - Both formats support multiple batches per file when configured 
properly
+       - The difference is in default configuration, not fundamental behavior
+
+    6. TESTING IMPLICATIONS:
+       - Tests using default ORC writing will show 1 batch per file
+       - Tests using custom stripe_size >= 200KB will show multiple batches 
per file
+       - Always verify the actual number of stripes in ORC files when testing 
batching
