Hi Freddy, A simple answer is NO.
IIUC, ORC is designed to work on HDFS which is append-only. Therefore ORC file is immutable once the writing is done. Hive provides an advanced feature for update and delete with ORC: https://orc.apache.org/docs/acid.html. Not sure if you are looking for something like this.
