That's something I don't understand (the use of the virtual column). It is common practice to normalize stuff like images as S3 file-paths instead of actual bytes inside an ORC file for efficiency of storage. > If there is no function available, Is there a UDF I can use? No, but it should be pretty easy to write a UDF to do whatever you want it to do in Java. This isn’t really recommended (for performance reasons) to do IO in the middle of a Hive query, but it will work. Cheers, Gopal
