Gopal V commented on HIVE-12037:
--------------------------------
[~kshitiz8]: You can do orc.create.index=false and avoid metadata indexes.
It is still recommended to use BINARY for columns which you want to skip
indexes for, which is encoded faster than STRING when the row width exceeds 4kb.
> ORC: allow disabling orc meta index for large string type column
