Spark can read ORC file, check documentation on it here: https://spark.apache.org/docs/2.3.0/sql-programming-guide.html#orc-files

Here is a sample of code to read orc file:

spark.read.format("orc").load("example.orc")

HWC is made for HDP 3 version, as Hive and Spark catalogs are not compatible anymore in HDP 3, (Hive is in version 3, and Spark in version 2).

See documentation on it here: https://docs.cloudera.com/HDPDocuments/HDP3/HDP-3.1.5/integrating-hive/content/hive_hivewarehouseconnector_for_handling_apache_spark_data.html
