    @marmbrus Unfortunately our current strategy for generating Spark 
partitions doesn't play well with ORC version of `buildReader()`, or to be more 
specific, `OrcRecordReader`. The following Spark shell snippet shows the 
problem:
    
    ```scala
    import org.apache.spark.sql.types._
    
    // Just creates a random file that is large enough
    val df = sqlContext.range(1000000).select(
      'id cast StringType as 'a,
      'id cast StringType as 'b,
      'id cast StringType as 'c
    )
    
    val path = "/tmp/large.orc"
    df.write.mode("overwrite").orc(path)
    
    sqlContext.sql(s"SET spark.sql.files.maxPartitionBytes=${1024 * 1024}")
    sqlContext.sql(s"SET spark.sql.parquet.enableVectorizedReader=false")
    
    sqlContext.read.orc(path).count() // <-- Gives 500,000 instead of 1,000,000
    ```
    
    Please refer to discussion [here][1] for details.
