Prasanth J commented on HIVE-4123:
----------------------------------
Please go ahead and update the original description.
At this point the only possible valid values are 0.11 and 0.12. As you had
mentioned if the parameter is not defined or defined wrongly it will use the
default 0.12 encoding.
bq. Is that accurate? Can releases be specified as "0.12.0" or "0.13.1"?
Yes. Accurate. HIVE-6002 was trying to add patch number to the write version so
that numbers can be specified as 0.12.1. But I don't think it will be committed
until next major change to ORC writer.
> The RLE encoding for ORC can be improved
