>
> The customer is looking for an option to specify custom path filter for ORC
> tables. Please find the details below from customer requirement.
> Problem Statement/Approach in customer words :
> {quote}
> Currently, Orc file input format does not take in path filters set in the
> property "mapreduce.input.pathfilter.class" OR "
> mapred.input.pathfilter.class ". So, we cannot use custom filters with Orc
> files.
> AcidUtils class has a static filter called "hiddenFilters" which is used by
> ORC to filter input paths. If we can pass the custom filter classes(set in
> the property mentioned above) to AcidUtils and replace hiddenFilter with a
> filter that does an "and" operation over hiddenFilter+customFilters, the
> filters would work well.
> On local testing, mapreduce.input.pathfilter.class seems to be working for
> Text tables but not for ORC tables.
> {quote}
> Our analysis:
> {{OrcInputFormat}} and {{FileInputFormat}} are different implementations for
> {{Inputformat}} interface. Property "{{mapreduce.input.pathfilter.class}}" is
> only respected by {{FileInputFormat}}, but not by any other implementations
> of {{InputFormat}}. The customer wants to have the ability to filter out rows
> based on path/filenames, current ORC features like bloomfilters and indexes
> are not good enough for them to minimize number of disk read operations.
