I was able to resolve the issue by setting "hive.optimize.index.filter" to true.
In the hadoop logs syslog:2014-04-03 05:44:51,204 INFO org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.orc.OrcInputFormat: included column ids = 3,8,13 syslog:2014-04-03 05:44:51,204 INFO org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.orc.OrcInputFormat: included columns names = sourceipv4address,sessionid,url syslog:2014-04-03 05:44:51,216 INFO org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.orc.OrcInputFormat: ORC pushdown predicate: leaf-0 = (EQUALS sourceipv4address 1809657989) I can now see the ORC pushdown predicate.
