Zheng Shao commented on HIVE-352: --------------------------------- @Yongqiang: The reason that we do that "lazy" operation is that there will be "CASE", "IF" and short-circuiting boolean operations which will allow us to skip different columns for different rows. We need a new top-level StructObjectInspector which can deserialize the column only when getField/getStructFieldData is called on that column. For all levels below that, we can reuse the current ObjectInspector. > Make Hive support column based storage > -------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-352 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-352 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: He Yongqiang > > column based storage has been proven a better storage layout for OLAP. > Hive does a great job on raw row oriented storage.
