---------------------------------

             Summary: Broken links in ORC format specifications
                 Key: ORC-1615
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ORC-1615
             Project: ORC
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: documentation
    Affects Versions: 1.9.2
            Reporter: Conor McAvoy


In the [ORC specification|https://orc.apache.org/specification/ORCv1/], under section "File Tail", there is a link that is intended to go to the Protobuf definition of ORC files: [https://github.com/apache/orc/blob/main/proto/orc_proto.proto] . This link leads to a 404, as the actual Protobuf definition has been moved to the orc-format repo here: [https://github.com/apache/orc-format/blob/main/src/main/proto/orc/proto/orc_proto.proto] .

 

The fix would be to correct this link in the 3 ORC format specifications, [ORC v0|https://orc.apache.org/specification/ORCv0/], [ORC v1|https://orc.apache.org/specification/ORCv1/], and [ORC v2|https://orc.apache.org/specification/ORCv2/]. Furthermore, [the new orc-format repo has the wrong link too|https://github.com/apache/orc-format/blob/main/specification/ORCv0.md?plain=1#L44], again for all three versions of the spec. It should be correct in those 3 files as well.

 

This is a pretty small issue but it was actually tough for me as a new user to find the original file, since it had gone to a different repo.
