Unable to connect Excel 2016 for MAC to Hive

avatar
New Contributor

Now the hive ODBC driver can be installed in OS X 10.11, however, Excel 2016 for MAC still can not connect. My DSN was tested successfully with iodbctest, however, Excel failed to connect with error message "IM003 [iODBC][Driver Manager]Specified driver could not be loaded" and "00000 [iODBC][Driver Manager]dlopen(/opt/hortonworks/hiveodbc/lib/universal/libhortonworkshiveodbc.dylib, 6): no suitable image found. Did find /opt/hortonworks/hiveodbc/lib/universal/libhortonworkshiveodbc.dylib: open() failed with errno=1"

I ran into this same problem with Excel 2016 on El Capitan. Jiaxing Liang is right in that OS X's sandboxing is blocking access to libhortonworkshiveodbc.dylib. You can verify the same by launching /Applications/Utilities/Console and filtering on 'sandboxd'. The Activity Monitor can also display if sandboxing is enabled. View -> Columns -> Sandbox.

As a work around I copied the Hortonworks Hive ODBC driver from the default install location of /opt/hortonworks to /Library/ODBC/hortonworks. I then updated the odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini files to reference the new driver location.

# Driver: The location where the ODBC driver is installed to. Driver=/Library/ODBC/hortonworks/hiveodbc/lib/universal/libhortonworkshiveodbc.dylib

The ErrorMessagesPath in the hortonworks.hiveodbc.ini files was being blocked too so that needed updating as well.

ErrorMessagesPath=/Library/ODBC/hortonworks/hiveodbc/ErrorMessages/

was this Sandbox? local? server?

Also did you set the configuration files?

This was the Sandbox. I followed the same instruction.

Can you post the contents of your configuration files and hosts. I had the problem on Mac that the files were ROOT read only and that the sandbox did not have permissions. Can you access other items on the Sandbox remote? Sometimes anti-virus will block ports. Can you access from ambari?

I am experiencing the same problem when following the tutorial at http://hortonworks.com/hadoop-tutorial/how-to-install-and-configure-the-hortonworks-odbc-driver-on-m... . I am using Sandbox v2.4.

The data source test in iODBC Administrator reports "The connection DSN was tested successfully, and can be used at this time", but when I test it under Excel 15.21 I get the same error.

It seems like an abrupt ending to this topic. It seems like I was stuck in a similar problem, however, it looks more like and excel and configuration issue rather than the iODBC manager itself.
I tried testing this via isql and it worked:

Whereas, working with the same code, shows precisely the same error message as reported by Sean:
00000 [iODBC][Driver Manager]dlopen(/opt/hortonworks/hiveodbc/lib/universal/libhortonworkshiveodbc.dylib, 6): no suitable image found. Did find /opt/hortonworks/hiveodbc/lib/universal/libhortonworkshiveodbc.dylib: open() failed with errno=1"
At least, its clear that the problem is not with the driver, but looks more like an excel/office issue.

copy your driver to /usr/lib will work

I guess I'd have to disable mac security to copy anything under /usr/lib. Thanks, will try it out.

Tried that one, didn't work. I am trying to use system DSN by the way, however, I do not suppose it really matters. The error is the same, it looks like it didn't even try to look at the new file.

Did you set Driver=/usr/lib/libhortonworkshiveodbc.dylib in your ODBC configuration.

Thanks, @bschofield!

I should add my odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini files are under /Library/ODBC too. I am using System DSNs only.

thanks @bschofield, it worked like a charm

I'm having the same problem. I followed the tutorial you linked, and the data source didn't show up in the Data Source Selection box until I moved the config files into /Library/ODBC. Once there, the data source appears as a system DSN. The data source test in iODBC Administrator reports "The connection DSN was tested successfully, and can be used at this time", but when I test it under Excel I get the same error Sean Sun is getting. This is in an attempt to contact the sandbox. I'm using the same version of OS X and Excel he's using.

I can confirm that the work around does enable applications/tools like Excel and Tableau to function normally.
