About:
OrcTools provides essential command-line utilities for working with Apache ORC files, including readers, writers, and metadata inspection tools. This Java-based suite enables developers to efficiently process and analyze columnar data without writing custom code. It serves as a practical companion to the ORC library for quick data operations and debugging tasks.
Key Features:
  • Command-line utilities for ORC file operations
  • Metadata inspection and display capabilities
  • Data conversion and transformation tools
  • Column statistics generation
  • Schema manipulation features
Use Cases:
  • Inspecting ORC file metadata and schema structure
  • Converting data formats to/from ORC
  • Quick data sampling and validation
  • Performance analysis of ORC files
Alternatives:
  • Apache Spark – Full-featured distributed processing framework, heavier than OrcTools for simple tasks
  • Hive – Provides ORC support but requires more setup and infrastructure
