How to open an ORC File in Azure data lake?

Question

I have an ORC File in azure data lake and i am unable to preview data.when i try to view it's just showing some irrelevant junk data.Can anyone help me which tool or how to preview contents of an ORC File

Answer 1

According my experience, Azure Data Factory doesn't support preview the data of some specific format file, such as.xlsx file. Maybe ORC file also is not support data preview.

We can not find any document talked about this.

But Azure Data Factory support copy ORC format file from Azure Data lake. To see:

1. Supported file formats and compression codecs in Azure Data Factory
2. Copy data to or from Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 using Azure Data Factory: Other format dataset .

Hope this helps.
