Hive ODBC SQLRowCount functionality

[Ryan LeCompte <le...@gmail.com>]

Hello all,

It appears that Hive's current ODBC driver does not support SQLRowCount. Is
there a plan to support this at some point?

We see a comment below on SQLRowCount.c in HiveODBC (Hive 0.4 release);
// TODO: actually implement this funciton when Hive Server supports this
functionality, but fake it for now to satisfy MicroStrategy

Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,

The current ODBC implementation does not support SQLRowCount. The  
supported ODBC functions are listed at the end of http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hive/HiveODBC 
.

We are currently more focused on extending SQL features to enables 3rd  
party applications integrating with Hive through ODBC rather than  
implementing the complete ODBC functions per se. However a number of  
ODBC functions are in our radar (e.g. SQLGetInfo and SQLCancel).  
Anyone who are interested in implementing one of the missing ODBC  
functions are more than welcome. Just open a JIRA and discuss there or  
on hive-dev mailing list.

Thanks,
Ning
