Read Apache ORC from Rust

Read Apache ORC in Rust.

This repository is similar to parquet2 and Avro-schema, providing a toolkit to:

• Read ORC files (proto structures)
• Read stripes (the conversion from proto metadata to memory regions)
• Decode stripes (the math of decode stripes into e.g. booleans, runs of RLE, etc.)

It currently reads the following (logical) types:

• booleans
• strings
• integers
• floats

What is not yet implemented:

• Snappy, LZO decompression
• RLE v2 Patched Base decoding
• RLE v1 decoding
• Utility functions to decode non-native logical types:
  • decimal
  • timestamp
  • struct
  • List
  • Union
