Marco Gaido created HIVE-16878: ---------------------------------- Summary: Hive concatenation can generate corrupted ORC Key: HIVE-16878 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-16878 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: ORC Affects Versions: 1.2.1 Reporter: Marco Gaido
Hive concatenation generates corrupted (and therefore unreadable) ORC if there are ORC files with different schema in the same table/partition. This may happen, for instance, if you put some data in a table, then you add a new column and you put some other data. In this case, running the ORC concatenation leads to a corrupted ORC file. I think that the right behavior would be not to concatenate ORC files with different schema. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
