Hortonworks ODBC driver for Hive on RHEL 5.x

avatar

Hi,

I am looking for Hortonworks ODBC drivers for Hive for RHEL 5.x version, but do not seem to find them.

Version 2.1.2 is only for RHEL 6.x. and don't install and old versions are only for Centos 5.x.

Can you please help on finding such drivers, please ?

Thank you.

If you are on a newer version of HDP 2.3.x & 2.4.x, we *really* suggest using 2.1.2+ and upgrade to RHEL 6.x.

The last ODBC driver Hortonworks provided for CentOS 5.x was 2.0.0. Nothing after is supported on RHEL 5.x after 2.0.0.

This is the repo you need:

http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/HDP/hive-odbc/2.0.0-1000/centos5/hive-odbc-native-2.0.0.1000-ce...

or you can go to http://hortonworks.com/downloads/#data-platform , then expand the Archive section and scroll down HDP 2.2 Add-Ons-->Hortonworks ODBC Driver for Apache Hive (v2.0)-->CentOS 5.x

If this is what you wanted, please vote the response and accepted it as a best answer.

Thank you for your quick answer. As the server I work on is not planned to migrate to RHEL 6.x, can you confirm I can use the rpm version you provided for CentOS 5.x?

I guess it is not optimal but is there some known issues using this version with 1.x Hive database?

Thank you.

Yes. That is the same for RHEL5.x. For the other question, I am not aware of special issues.
