Hi Biswajit You might need patch from https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-11546
Can you apply this patch to your hive build and see if it solves the issue? (recommended) Alternatively, you can use “hive.exec.orc.split.strategy”=“BI” as workaround. Its highly not recommended to use this config as it will disable split elimination and may generate sub-optiomal splits resulting in less map-side parallelism. This config is just provided as an workaround and is suitable when all orc files are small (<less than stripe size or block size).

Out of 30 partition (for a month), 3-4 partition are having this issue. Even reload of the data does not yield anything. Query works fine in MR now, but having issue in tez.

You can also experiment with hive.optimize.index.filter=false, to see if the zero row case is artificially produced via predicate push-down. That shouldn't be a problem unless you've turned on hive.orc.splits.include.file.footer=true (recommended to be false). Your row-locations don't actually match any Apache source jar in my builds, are there any other patches to consider? Cheers, Gopal
