Connecting to a data source in Cloudera Data Visualization

Cloudera Data Visualization allows you to create connections to many types of external data sources, enhancing your data analysis and visualization capabilities.

Cloudera Data Visualization currently supports the following connection types:
  • Hive
  • Impala
  • MariaDB
  • MySQL
  • PostgreSQL
  • Solr [Technical Preview]
  • Spark SQL
  • SQLite (not supported in CDW)
  • Snowflake [Technical Preview]

This range of supported connection types provides flexibility and versatility in connecting to various data sources for comprehensive data analysis.

When using Cloudera Data Visualization with Cloudera Data Warehouse, the data connection is automatically set up, but you can connect to various other data sources as well to suit your specific requirements.

In Cloudera Machine Learning, you can connect to an Impala or a Hive data warehouse, or tie in data from predictive Cloudera Machine Learning models.
