Owen O'Malley commented on HIVE-4245: ------------------------------------- If you look at the original ORC github, you can see a float and double redblack tree that I pulled out in getting it ready for the initial push into Apache. https://github.com/hortonworks/orc/tree/9cdb2e88d377c801655fbb9015938ea3a93e12ca/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/io/orc > Implement numeric dictionaries in ORC > ------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-4245 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4245 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Serializers/Deserializers > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > Assignee: Pamela Vagata > > For many applications, especially in de-normalized data, there is a lot of > redundancy in the numeric columns. Therefore, it would make sense to > adaptively use dictionary encodings for numeric columns in addition to string > columns. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
