             Summary: Drop legacy Hive-based ORC file format
                 Key: SPARK-44677
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-44677
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 4.0.0
            Reporter: Cheng Pan


Currently, Spark allows to use spark.sql.orc.impl=native/hive to switch the ORC 
FileFormat implementation.

SPARK-23456(2.4) switched the default value of spark.sql.orc.impl from "hive" 
to "native". and prepared to drop the "hive" implementation in the future.

> ... eventually, Apache Spark will drop old Hive-based ORC code.

The native implementation works well during the whole Spark 3.x period, so it's 
a good time to consider dropping the "hive" one in Spark 4.0.

Also, we should take care about the backward-compatibility during change.

> BTW, IIRC, there was a different at Hive ORC CHAR implementation before. So, 
> we couldn't remove it for backward-compatibility issues. Since Spark 
> implements many CHAR features, we need to re-verify that {{native}} 
> implementation has all legacy Hive-based ORC features
