We are pleased to announce the release of Impala JDBC v2.5.34 driver. This release has the following fixes and enhancements:
Authentication method and transport protocol. You can now specify if SASL should be used in conjunction with the 'Username and Password' Authentication Mechanism (AuthMech=3) by using the Use Sasl connection property. Previously this was done through the transport Mode connection property, which has now been removed.
See Release Notes for JDBC for details on all of the fixes.
