Conversion of one file format to another

Hello All,

I have a couple of Sequence files on HDFS.  I now need to load these files
into an ORC table. One option is to create an external table of
SequenceFile format and then load it into the ORC table by using the INSERT
OVERWRITE command.

I am looking for an alternative without using an intermediate table. Is
there a way of achieving this by writing a Custom output format?


Thanks & Regards,
