Michael commented on HIVE-6616:
-------------------------------
Yes, it is the same issue but from a non-Hive developer. As such, I do not want
to dive into Hive source code and look for appropriate classes and methods. I
need two things:
1. Clear documentation with fields, sizes, types, offsets, etc. that allows
creation of an ORC file without using Hive code
2. Clear and comprehensive user guide (preferably with usage examples) for any
Hive API that can help in creating an ORC file. I can be a tester for such
documentation (and any other if it takes reasonable time).
> Document ORC file format to enable development of external converters to/from
> ORC/text files
