How to add custom codec support for ORC file.

[Amar Mhatre]

Hi,

This is my first post to this forum :)

I found the only 'ZLIB, SNAPPY, LZO' are supported.
Is there a way to add custom splittable codec support for ORC file format in 
hive.

Thanks

There currently isn't a way to do that. What are your requirements that
would be easier with a custom codec? ORC uses the codecs in a very specific
way so that it can support indexing. By default ORC indexes each 10k rows
and the compression is done in blocks so that the reader can skip over
blocks it does not need.
