Hao Zou commented on ORC-1264:
------------------------------
Hi [~hezuojiao]
Thanks for reaching out about the {{Reader::getRowGroupIndex}} interface. Since
the order of the data streams is not fixed, the interface does not specify the
exact position of each data stream.
> [C++] Add a writer option to align compression block with row group boundary

> Key: ORC-1264
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ORC-1264
> Project: ORC
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++
> Reporter: Gang Wu
> Assignee: Hao Zou
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.1.0
>
>
> To reduce unnecessary I/O and decompression when PPD is in effect, we can
> enforce the compression block to be aligned with the row group boundary. It
> can help avoid unnecessary I/O and decompression of the filtered row groups
> before the survived row group within the same compression block. This
> implementation does not break the format specs and should be transparent to
> any downstream implementation. The caveat may be worse file size which
> depends on the data distribution and applied compression algorithm. Therefore
> we should make it optional and enable it per the user's choice.
