The Progress® DataDirect® for JDBC™ for Apache Impala™ driver supports SQL read-write access for JDBC applications to Impala. The driver provides access to data in Impala that can be pulled into a data visualization tool to get important insights into engineering operations. In addition, the driver employs a SQL engine component that provides support to SQL constructs unavailable in Impala. This functionality allows seamless integration with third-party software and provides the most comprehensive SQL support and JDBC standard connectivity to BI (Business Intelligence) and ETL (Extract,Transform, Load) tools.

The Apache 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 driver is designed to work seamlessly with the file formats and storage handlers used by the server.

The documentation for the driver also includes the Progress DataDirect for JDBC Drivers Reference. The reference provides general reference information for all DataDirect drivers for JDBC, including content on troubleshooting, supported SQL escapes, and DataDirect tools.
