The Impala Wire Protocol Driver
The DataDirect Connect XE for ODBC and DataDirect Connect64 XE for ODBC for Impala Wire Protocol driver each support the Cloudera Impala 1.0 database server.
The Impala server is compatible with data stored in various file formats. In addition, Impala can work with data stored in other systems through the use of storage handlers. The file formats and storage handlers in use should work seamlessly with the Impala driver. The Impala Wire Protocol driver is formally certified with the most prevalent file formats and storage handlers:

The driver is supported in the Windows, UNIX, and Linux environments. See Environment-Specific Information for detailed information about the environments supported by this driver.
