Sushanth Sowmyan commented on HCATALOG-632:
-------------------------------------------
One major issue is with writing out ORCFiles. OrcOutputFormat extends
mapred.FileOutputFormat and thus, fits in with our FileOutputFormatContainer.
However, the getRecordWriter method takes a filesystem parameter that is
"unused" in FileOutputFormat, and thus, we do not initialize it, but is
required in OrcOutputFormat, as it tries to figure out replication factor, etc
from it, and currently fails with a NullPointerException when used.

> Hive recently introduced ORC files (
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3874 ) which does not work with

> that we can read/write ORC files.
