All, Is this the right place to ask questions about hive-orc? I know it was split out into Apache ORC, and up until recently I have been using Apache ORC 1.1.2 to convert Avro files to ORC files, but I was told I need a version that works with only Hive 1.2.1.
If I should direct to the Hive list please let me know, otherwise: - Are complex types (list, map, struct, union, etc.) supported in hive-orc 1.2.1? I don't see the ListColumnVector and such types. I can't bring in that storage-api-2.1.1-pre-orc JAR because of a conflict with BloomFilter, etc. - I was using VectorizedRowBatch to write my values in ORC 1.1.2, is that the correct/recommended approach in 1.2.1? I see Apache Crunch uses lots of MapReduce types but I would really like to limit the MR dependencies if possible since my app will not always be on a Hadoop node. - Are there any examples of converting Avro to ORC outside of Hive (but using Avro and hive-orc)? I see a couple of examples of reading/writing ORC files but nothing with Avro. No worries if not, I am writing one as part of this effort :) Thank you in advance, Matt
