-----------------------------------
Hi [~standon],
Sorry, I didn't have time to have a closer look at this and I'm not too
familiar with HCat. Anyway, if I understand you correctly, it's not clear how
to verify whether the right compression was used in hcat, right?
This forum topic might help us out here:
[https://community.hortonworks.com/questions/46381/how-to-validate-which-compression-technique-has-be.html]
One of the replies mentions that the compression of a hive table can be checked
with the describe command... I'm not sure if it works, but worth a try. (You
could then execute this hive command from Java.)
