Announcing: Impala ODBC v2.5.23 and JDBC v2.5.16 Drivers

[#1]

Hello CDH and Impala Users,

We are pleased to announce the release of the Impala ODBC v2.5.23 and JDBC v2.5.16 drivers.

The Impala ODBC driver now supports authentication using user credentials without SASL implemented and fixes the following issues:

• SQLDescribeCol returns incorrect column lengths

• Windows DSN Setup dialog loads and saves the password from/to a DSN

• The driver may hang when running concurrent operations using the same connection from different threads

The Impala JDBC driver fixes the following issues:

• Driver misinterprets a newer version of Impala

• Executing a query after PreparedStatement.setObject(1, null) in Native Query Mode causes a null pointer issue to occur

• Driver does not return an error when a table or column in a query is not found

These drivers work for previous versions of HiveServer2 in CDH 4.1 or higher and Impala 1.0 or higher.

To get started with the Cloudera drivers:

• Read the Cloudera ODBC 2.5 driver for Impala release notes and installation guide

• Read the Cloudera JDBC 2.5 driver for Impala release notes and installation guide

As always, we are happy to hear your feedback. Please send your comments and suggestions to cdh-user@cloudera.org or post to our new Community Forums.

Kind regards,

The Cloudera Team
