Description

ORC supports the orc.compress table property:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+ORC

create table Addresses (
  name string,
  street string,
  city string,
  state string,
  zip int
) stored as orc tblproperties ("orc.compress"="NONE");

I think it'd be great to support the same for Parquet.
