Yin Huai commented on HIVE-6632: -------------------------------- Does Parquet have the same issue? > ORC should be able to only read needed fields in a complex column > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-6632 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6632 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Yin Huai > > Currently, we use a string of ids to record needed columns. However, this > string cannot record needed fields of a complex column. Although ORC > decomposes a complex column to multiple sub-columns, it has to load the > entire complex column if only a single field of this complex column is needed. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
