Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-5091: -------------------------------------- Doc note: This changed the default value of configuration parameter *hive.exec.orc.write.format* from 0.11 to null (before it was first released in 0.12). *hive.exec.orc.write.format* was created in HIVE-4123, and it's documented in the wiki here: * [Configuration Properties -- hive.exec.orc.write.format | https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Configuration+Properties#ConfigurationProperties-hive.exec.orc.write.format] > ORC files should have an option to pad stripes to the HDFS block boundaries > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-5091 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5091 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: File Formats > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > Assignee: Owen O'Malley > Fix For: 0.12.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-5091.D12249.1.patch, HIVE-5091.D12249.2.patch, > HIVE-5091.D12249.3.patch > > > With ORC stripes being large, if a stripe straddles an HDFS block, the > locality of read is suboptimal. It would be good to add padding to ensure > that stripes don't straddle HDFS blocks. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
