Alex McLintock commented on HIVE-7858:
--------------------------------------
(I'm trying to understand the scope of this bug/bugfix)
For internal tables within Hive we can only create parquet files with the
default compression format - up until Hive version 0.15 when this fix will be
generally available.
Can I ask how this affects external tables?
Assuming that Hive can read a parquet file supplied to it does it need to be
told what compression format was used?
> Parquet compression should be configurable via table property

> ORC supports the orc.compress table property:
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+ORC
> {noformat}
> create table Addresses (
> name string,
> street string,
> city string,
> state string,
> zip int
> ) stored as orc tblproperties ("orc.compress"="NONE");
> {noformat}
> I think it'd be great to support the same for Parquet.
