Impala ODBC/JDBC Driver Licensing
Hi,
I'm given the task to do testing for our usecases using kudu for my internship to replace our current DB . I'm told to check if we can use the below mentioned drivers on commercial products without purchasing any licenses? Please note that these connectors are developed and maintained by Cloudera.
We plan on using one of the following two connectors to connect to impala.
· Impala ODBC Connector (https://www.cloudera.com/downloads/connectors/impala/odbc/2-6-5.html)
· Impala JDBC Connector (https://www.cloudera.com/downloads/connectors/impala/jdbc/2-6-15.html)
Thank you

Those drivers are provided by Cloudera rather than the Apache Impala
project, so Apache doesn't endorse or support them.
So I'll just point you in the right direction. The license agreement for
those drivers is available when you click to download them. I can't provide
legal advice, but I'll point out that there's not a general prohibition on
using the driver within a commercial product, but there are various
limitations on redistribution, etc.
An alternative for JDBC at least is to use the Apache Hive JDBC driver. It
does work as a way to submit queries to Impala, although probably isn't as
battle tested as the other drivers.
