With Hive 0.13 the ORC memory issue is mitigated because of this optimization
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6455. This optimization is enabled
by default.
But having 3283 columns is still huge. So I would still recommend reducing the
default compression (256KB) buffer size to a lower value as suggested by John.
Thanks
