Hi-


I have a question regarding encryption in ORC.  Fundamentally, the question is 
"does it exist currently?"



The nearest I can tell at this point in time (July 2019), the answer is "no", 
but it does appear to be under active development.



I'm confused because the ORC v1.6 specification on the ORC website mentions 
that as of ORC 1.6 encryption is available.  However the current release is 
1.5.6 (June 2019).



So does that mean that encryption will be available as of the future version 
1.6?



It's confusing because when you download the source, unzip it, untar it and 
take a look, I don't see a change log file and there is nothing in the 
README.md file that tells you exactly which version you have downloaded and 
unpacked.



I attempted to do some digging and came across this ticket:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ORC-14



Which seems to indicate that - although under development - encryption is not 
currently available in ORC.



Apologies for the fundamental question, but I'd like to get some clarity one 
way or another.



Thanks,

Jerry
