## Description: - A high-performance columnar file format for Hadoop workloads. ## Issues: - There are no issues requiring the board's attention. ## Activity: - We made two bug fix releases for the 1.4 branch and will make another soon. - We also need to finalize the ORC 1.5 release. - We decided to create a security list. - Expanded the development page on the website to help new committers. - Refactored the format specification on the website to make it easier to add the new ORCv2 specification as we work on it. - The Iceberg project https://github.com/Netflix/iceberg from Netflix added ORC support. - Presentations got accepted about ORC for Berlin Buzzwords and Dataworks Summit San Jose. ## Health report: - Discovered that our benchmarking code was using a GPL dependency and so moved to code to an external github site. - The activity level is increasing and drawing from an increasing number of contributors.
