License for Cloudera Hive ODBC driver

[#1]

We use Hadoop and Hive 3.1, and vendor is Cloudera and is licensed. Now there is a requirement to connect to that Hive environment from another application server to extract data and we are planning to use ODBC drivers. We would like to know if we need to purchase the license to use Cloudera Hive ODBC driver, or can it be downloaded and used to connect to Cloudera Hadoop and Hive v3.1 without purchasing a license.

@sree21 You should be able to download the driver and use it anywhere.  The license is just for hive endpoint itself.

You can find that download page here:
