Free ODBC Drivers for Cassandra and Hadoop Now Available

The company is offering free ODBC drivers for Hadoop/Hive and introducing a new beta version of an ODBC driver for Cassandra on the Windows platform. The Hive driver, previously available for a fee, is now completely free. The Cassandra driver adheres to ODBC 3.52 standards, allowing users to connect to open source or DataStax Enterprise clusters from various BI, query, and ETL tools. However, the current version does not support CQL3, which will be addressed in a future release. Downloads are available on their drivers downloads page, with support for any questions.
