Accessing Spark SQL through ODBC

If you want to access Spark SQL through ODBC, first download the ODBC Spark driver for the operating system you want to use for the ODBC client. After downloading the driver, refer to the Hortonworks ODBC Driver with SQL Connector for Apache Spark User Guide for installation and configuration instructions.

Drivers and associated documentation are available in the "Hortonworks Data Platform Add-Ons" section of the Hortonworks Downloads page under "Hortonworks ODBC Driver for SparkSQL." If the latest version of HDP is newer than your version, check the Hortonworks Data Platform Archive area of the add-ons section for the version of the driver that corresponds to your version of HDP.
