Write ORC to BLOB

I am trying to write an ORC file to BLOB storage in Azure, yet it seems by looking at the configurations of the ORC Write Snap, this may not yet be possible?

    Hi @ccorbin_pwc We currently support Parquet + Azure blob However, you are correct. ORC support for Azure Blob is a roadmap item. Is there a particular use case that is driving ORC vs Parquet?

      Support for ACID, performance and perhaps personal preferences from some folks, were the driving factors. Any insight into how far down the road ORC + Azure Blob may be?
