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

> column based storage has been proven a better storage layout for OLAP. 
> Hive does a great job on raw row oriented storage. In this issue, we will 
> enhance hive to support column based storage. 
> Acctually we have done some work on column based storage on top of hdfs, i 
> think it will need some review and refactoring to port it to Hive.
> Any thoughts?
