Hello,

I have a Hive table with few a petabytes of data which is compressed in
snappy format. This is a managed table in ORC format.
Now I want to change the compression format of table to zlib from snappy.
Can I use the alter table command to update the table properties?
Would this also ensure that all the existing data compressed in snappy
format and the new data stored in zlib format can work in tandem with no
disruptions or issues to end users who query the table.

Cheers,
Gopi Krishnan
