Add ORC format

Would it be possible to add the ORC file format to the benchmarks here?

To say the truth I've never heard about such file format. Can you recommend reliable source of information?

It's a columnar format similar to Parquet. It's widely used at Facebook, among other places. It's currently an Apache project. Here is a public post from Facebook talking about its performance benefits.

I realize I didn't answer your question. A good resource on ORC can be found here - scroll down after the RCFile section
