HCatalog supports RCFile format, text files, SequenceFiles, or ORC files according to the documentation.
I am not able to find much details on how to specify the storage type in HCatalog as ORCFiles.

where are you getting the error? In `CREATE` or `INSERT`? – Neels Apr 02 '14 at 07:36

In CREATE. Basically I am not able to figure out how to specify ORCFile as output format. – agirish Apr 03 '14 at 14:54

Thanks. But I need to programmatically create an ORCFile and load data into it. So I would need to use HCatalog APIs. Although I am able to create a schema, i'm nt sure how to specify the storage format at ORC File. – agirish Apr 06 '14 at 22:24
