--------------------------------
Issue Type: New Feature (was: Improvement)
> Column pruning for nested fields in Parquet
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-15055
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-15055
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Logical Optimizer, Physical Optimizer
> Reporter: Chao Sun
> Assignee: Chao Sun
>
> Some columnar file formats such as Parquet store fields in struct type also
> column by column using encoding described in Google Dramel pager. It's very
> common in big data where data are stored in structs while queries only needs
> a subset of the the fields in the structs. However, presently Hive still
> needs to read the whole struct regardless whether all fields are selected.
> Therefore, pruning unwanted sub-fields in struct or nested fields at file
> reading time would be a big performance boost for such scenarios.
