> High priority issues with schema evolution for the ORC file format.
> Schema evolution here is limited to adding new columns and a few cases of
> column type-widening (e.g. int to bigint).
> Renaming columns, deleting column, moving columns and other schema evolution
> were not pursued due to lack of importance and lack of time. Also, it
> appears a much more sophisticated metadata would be needed to support them.
> The biggest issues for users have been adding new columns for ACID table
> (HIVE-11421 Support Schema evolution for ACID tables) and vectorization
> (HIVE-10598 Vectorization borks when column is added to table).
