Prasanth J commented on HIVE-7215: ---------------------------------- ORC handles nulls in predicate pushdown. If an entire column is null in a row group (10K rows), the statistics in row index entries is null. So for queries like {code}select * from table where col is null {code} if col is completely null in a row group, ORC predicate pushdown evaluates to true (based on null statistics) and reads the row group. > Support predicate pushdown for null checks in ORCFile > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-7215 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7215 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Rohini Palaniswamy > > Came across this missing feature during discussion of PIG-3760. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
