> Hive 13 does not handle reading of a zero size Orc File properly. An Orc file is suposed to have a post-script
> which the ReaderIml class tries to read and initialize the footer with it. But in case, the file is empty 
> or is of zero size, then it runs into an IndexOutOfBound Exception because of ReaderImpl trying to read in its constructor.
> Code Snippet : 
> //get length of PostScript
> int psLen = buffer.get(readSize - 1) & 0xff; 
> In the above code, readSize for an empty file is zero.
> I see that ensureOrcFooter() method performs some sanity checks for footer , 
> so, either we can move the above code snippet to ensureOrcFooter() and throw a "Malformed ORC file exception" or we can create a dummy Reader that does not initialize footer and basically has hasNext() set to false so that it returns false on the first call.
> Basically, I would like to know what might be the correct way to handle an empty ORC file in a mapred job?
> Should we neglect it and not throw an exception or we can throw an exeption that the ORC file is malformed.
> Please let me know your thoughts on this.
