He Yongqiang commented on HIVE-352:
-----------------------------------

Thanks, Raghotham Murthy.
Besides these two posts, there are also several useful papers,like
C-Store: A Column-oriented DBMS  
Column-Stores vs. Row-Stores- How Different Are They Really-sigmod08
A Comparison of C-Store and Row-Store in a Common Framework
Materialization Strategies in a Column-Oriented DBMS.
Integrating compression and execution in column-oriented database systems

In these papers, which are written mostly(all?) by people in vertica, they 
place most emphasis on the column-oriented execution layer together with a 
column storage layer. I totally agree with these opinions. And actually we 
observed that operators with map-reduce approach have many differences with the 
ones implemented in systems like CStore.  And we also found that bitmap 
compression can extremely reduce the execution time.
So i guess we can first try to support a column storage layer, and then we can 
add some column oriented operators and column-specific compression algorithms.
I will try to provide a small prototype of the storage layer as soon as 
possible.

> column based storage has been proven a better storage layout for OLAP. 
> Hive does a great job on raw row oriented storage. In this issue, we will 
> enhance hive to support column based storage. 
> Acctually we have done some work on column based storage on top of hdfs, i 
> think it will need some review and refactoring to port it to Hive.
> Any thoughts?
