Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HIVE-20580:
-----------------------------------------
[~pvary] I will get rid of isOriginal(Footer). I don't see it being part of a
public interface and I would rather not leave a public method which is unused
in code.
LGTM otherwise.
> OrcInputFormat.isOriginal() should not rely on hive.acid.key.index

> {{org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.orc.OrcInputFormat.isOriginal()}} is checking
> for presence of {{hive.acid.key.index}} in the footer. This is only created
> when the file is written by {{OrcRecordUpdater}}. It should instead check
> for presence of Acid metadata columns so that a file can be produced by
> something other than {{OrcRecordUpater}}.
> Also, {{hive.acid.key.index}} counts number of different type of events which
> is not really useful for Acid V2 (as of Hive 3) since each file only has 1
> type of event.
