ODBC Drivers for Hive - Cloudera vs. Hortonworks

[#1]

Are the ODBC Drivers for Hive the same for Cloudera and Hortonworks? Flexera indicates they are the same product due to the merger. However, there are downloads for both products, and they are not the same version: Cloudera 2.6.4: https://www.cloudera.com/downloads/connectors/hive/odbc/2-6-4.html Hortonworks 2.6.1.1: https://www.cloudera.com/downloads/hdp.html

@ADingmando you have a use case, or you have any particular issue that you'd like assistance with?

The ODBC Drivers are built for CDH and HDP release. I believe there should be a release notes if you unpack the contents and compare the fixes each ODBC driver contains.

Thanks for confirming they are platform-specific!
