Thank you and Happy New Year to you too. +1 for the report and I'm also looking forward to seeing ORC 2.1 in January.
In 2024, we achieved really big changes in ORC library design via ORC 2.x. Also, ORC-1669 deprecated HDFS Support at ORC 2.0.1. Maybe, after releasing 2.1, we can start a discussion for ORC 3.0 in order to drop HDFS Support from C++ library completely and to embrace new changes including the latest protobuf (ORC-1662) Sincerely, Dongjoon.
