Built-in BI clients and drivers in Cloudera Data Warehouse

You can connect BI tools and SQL clients such as Beeline, impala-shell, impyla, Tableau, and so on to Cloudera Data Warehouse and use them to explore and query data in the Data Lakehouse.

Cloudera Data Warehouse provides built-in downloadables such as Hive JDBC driver for connecting JDBC-compliant tools to the Virtual Warehouses, Beeline CLI, Impala JDBC and ODBC drivers for connecting to Impala Virtual Warehouses, and a JDBC driver for using with Unified Analytics. You can download these from the Resources and Downloads tile present on the Overview page.

Cloudera recommends that you use the latest versions of Beeline, JDBC or ODBC drivers, impala-shell, or Impyla to connect to Cloudera Data Warehouse. The versions of these BI client tools that are installed on the Cloudera Base on premises nodes could be old and may not have newer features that Cloudera Data Warehouse supports.
