RE: Hive ODBC - Microsoft’s Involvement

>> Any reason you want to use a ODBC and not Thrift ?  Hive supports the thrift protocol. There are thrift libraries for C# and you can easily integrate it into your project for direct access to HIVE via your C# code.

ODBC opens Hive up for use through any number of Windows based SQL client products that do not talk JDBC, allowing end users to use the same client for Hive that they use for other RDBMs.

I see that, but will that hive ODBC driver work with a standard hive install, or will it be limited to Microsoft's cloud version of Hadoop/Hive?  Anyone tried the driver?

The Hive driver that Microsoft will be releasing is ODBC, so you should be able to interact with Hive just like you would with any other relational database.

Does anyone know if the driver Microsoft is talking about with their Azure based hadoop/hive setup would work for connecting Windows applications (Excel/.NET Web Apps etc) to Apache Hive running on Unix?  Looking for a way to connect .NET Web apps to Hive for some process flow upgrades.

Thanks!
