Using Toad for Hadoop with HDP 2.4

[#1]

TOAD is a freeware tool available for OSX and Windows from Dell. It supports Kerberos, Hive, HDFS Explorer, SQL, export to CSV/XLS, charting and logging. The documentation mentions support for up to HDP 2.3, but I had most features work well and fast with HDP 2.4.2 Sandbox. The tool is very smart to auto detect settings using Ambari.

With Ambari User.

Once configured, you can query Hive Tables through Spark SQL or Hive. The performance is quite good.

The tool provides a nice view of Charts and Logs.

@Timothy Spann Were you able to configure TOAD with a kerberized cluster?
