Please add ability to read ORC files from Azure Data Lake. We sometimes have need to explore data in ADLS and Power BI seems to be the easy way to do that without setting up a cluster or accessing the data through a cluster. Right now the supported formats (Excel, Access, Text, CSV, XML, HTML, JSON) do not include ORC but ORC is the most optimized way to Hive data and in most operational environments, large data is stored in this format in ADLS.
