Alejandro Abdelnur commented on AVRO-806: ----------------------------------------- Could we god simple at first? I.e., single column for unions and columns only for the elements of depth 1 as a start. We could add a 'column encoding' version somewhere. This would allow as to change things and still being able to provide backwards compatibility. > add a column-major codec for data files > --------------------------------------- > > Key: AVRO-806 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-806 > Project: Avro > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: java, spec > Reporter: Doug Cutting > > Define a codec that, when a data file's schema is a record schema, writes > blocks within the file in column-major order. This would permit better > compression and also permit efficient skipping of fields that are not of > interest. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
