Github user jcamachor commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/orc/pull/249 I have been testing the patch from Hive and everything seems to be working as expected. I have rebased the patch and merge both commits. Also, I had to extend my changes to the newly created ```WriterImplV2```. @omalley , @wgtmac , could you take a final look and merge if it is OK? Thanks
