Specify encoding for columns in parquet

Hi everyone
I've been searching this for a while and haven't find an answer for it.
Does anyone know that if I can explicitly specify the encoding algorithm to use for individual columns of a Hive table stored as parquet file format.

For example, is it possible to choose RLE for column1, dictionary encoding for column2, etc...
