## Description:
- A high-performance columnar file format for Hadoop workloads.
## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring the board's attention.
## Activity:
- A presentation on "ORC File - Optimizing Your Big Data" was given at the
Dataworks
Summit in San Jose.
- Alibaba is contributing a C++ ORC file writer, which is a very welcome
contribution.
## Health report:
- Unfortunately, the C++ code reviews have been going slower than we
would like.
The combination of summer vacations, the small pool of ORC committers
that feel
comfortable reviewing the C++ code, and the influx of C++ from Alibaba
have lead to
longer review cycles. Clearly we need more committers on the C++ side
of the house.
