SQLWorkbench: [Simba][ImpalaJDBCDriver](500001) Error getting metadata information

[#1]

When selecting a table in SQL Workbench Database explorer or when sleetcing "Push Select into new tab." from the Database Explorer we get the error message:

[Simba][ImpalaJDBCDriver](500001) Error getting metadata information

Test connection, schema table listing etc all works fine.  I can manually select in a new tab and it fetches data without issue, it is just operations on the Database Exploere tab that throws an error.

In fact even on the Database Explorer tab, you can refresh the data tab of a table and it fetches the data.

Hi binghamc,

Can you enable debug logging (page 22 of this doc, select level 5) for more insight into the error?

Sure...I have and this is what appears:

[#4]

I'm not finding much information about this. Which driver version is this occurring with?

[#5]

I have tried the last 3 versions listed in the downloads.  Seems to be with all of them.

[#6]

Any update on this error. I am also getting this one.
