Announcing: ODBC Driver Version 2.5.5 for Hive

[#1]

Hello CDH Users,

We are pleased to announce the release of version 2.5.5 of the Cloudera ODBC Driver for Apache Hive.  This version adds:

• Ability for clients to securely and more easily authenticate with their username and password

• Ability to secure client traffic via encrypted SSL

• Ability for multi-tiered applications to proxy via delegation IDs

These drivers work for previous versions of HiveServer2 in CDH 4.1 or higher but the new functionality above is only available in CDH 4.5.

Getting started with the Cloudera ODBC Drivers:

• Read the the Hive installation guide

• Download the connector from the Cloudera Components and Connectors page

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
