Owen O'Malley commented on ORC-519:
-----------------------------------
Yeah, I agree the spec is wrong. (At least the Java agrees with the C++.) :)
> Incorrect ORC v1 specification of Decimal encoding

> Key: ORC-519
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ORC-519
> Project: ORC
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: documentation
> Reporter: Brent Kerby
> Priority: Minor
>
> According to the ORC v1 specification
> ([https://orc.apache.org/specification/ORCv1/]), the SECONDARY (scale) stream
> in a Decimal column is encoded using Unsigned Integer RLE v1. However,
> observing the implementation and behavior of the C++ library, it is evident
> that the Signed Integer RLE v1 is what is actually used.
