Convert ORC to TSV Online
Use our free online tool to convert your Apache ORC data to Tab Separated Values quickly
Apache ORC
Apache ORC (Optimized Row Columnar) is a self-describing, columnar file format that supports high compression ratios and fast data retrieval. ORC supports complex types, including structs, lists, maps, and unions. ORC files are divided into blocks of data (stripes) containing statistics (such as min, max, sum, and count) and lightweight indexing which can be used to skip over irrelevant data during queries. ORC also supports predicate pushdown, meaning that filters can be applied as the data is read from disk, reducing the amount of data loaded into memory and processed. Due to its high performance in terms of compression and speed of access, ORC is particularly well-suited for heavy read operations and is commonly used in data warehousing and analytics applications.
Tab Separated Values
A Tab Separated Values (TSV) file is a simple text format for storing data in a tabular structure. Each row in the table is represented by a line of text in the file. Within each row, columns of data are separated by tabs. This format is useful for moving data between programs or systems that handle tabular data, such as spreadsheets and databases. TSV files are easy to read and write by both humans and machines. They are especially useful when handling data that contains special characters or commas since the tab character is less likely to appear in field data than commas.
