Is there a way to see the contents of an orc file that hive 0.11 and above use. I usually cat gz files and decompress them to see the contents eg: cat part-0000.gz | pigz -d | more Note: pigz is a parallel gz program.
I would like to know if there is something similar to this for orc files.
It's also capable to see the contents of a ORC file by desktop application running on Linux.
There is a desktop application to view Parquet and also other binary format data like ORC and AVRO. It's pure Java application so that can be run at Linux, Mac and also Windows. Please check Bigdata File Viewer for details.
It supports complex data type like array, map, struct, etc.
