Apache Impala connection

Last updated: Oct 09, 2024

To access your data in Apache Impala, create a connection asset for it.

Apache Impala provides high-performance, low-latency SQL queries on data that is stored in popular Apache Hadoop file formats.

Supported versions

Apache Impala 1.3+

To create the connection asset, you need these connection details:

Database (optional): If you do not enter a database name, you must enter the catalog name, schema name, and the table name in the properties for SQL queries.
Hostname or IP address
Port number
Username and password
SSL certificate (if required by the database server)

You can use this connection only for source data. You cannot write to data or export data with this connection.

To ensure that your SQL statements run correctly, refer to the Impala SQL Language Reference for the correct syntax.
