Owen O'Malley commented on HIVE-5091: ------------------------------------- This patch: * Adds a new table property orc.block.padding, which defaults to true. * For stripes smaller than a block, if they would straddle the block boundary, zeros are written to get to the start of the next block. * The max block size is set to 1.5GB since 2GB - 1 created issues with blocksizes needing to be divisible by the checksum length (512). * Cleans up the interface to the OrcFile.createWriter so that the user can set parameters by name. * Cleans up the ability to write the 0.11 version of ORC files that was added in HIVE-4123. Ensures that the direct string encoding isn't used for 0.11 ORC files. * Updated most of the tests to use the new createWriter API. > ORC files should have an option to pad stripes to the HDFS block boundaries > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-5091 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5091 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > Assignee: Owen O'Malley > Attachments: HIVE-5091.D12249.1.patch > > > With ORC stripes being large, if a stripe straddles an HDFS block, the > locality of read is suboptimal. It would be good to add padding to ensure > that stripes don't straddle HDFS blocks. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
