Kyuubi ODBC Example

[JeffSBailey]

I have successfully been able to connect my application to Kyuubi using a myssql connection (marked as experimental in the Helm chart). So far, this does not allow table discovery from my application. I was going to try to connect via ODBC but I cannot find any examples of how to setup an ODBC DSN to connect. Does anyone have any examples they could share?

Sorry, there are no ODBC docs yet, would appreciate it if you could send PR to supply one.

It's recommended to use Databricks Spark ODBC driver to connect Kyuubi.

Technical details: both JDBC/ODBC API provided by Kyuubi are based on Thrift protocol, it's fully compatible with Apache Hive Thrift protocol(Impala, and Spark Thrift Server did it too), so ideally, you can use any Hive client to connect Kyuubi. However, some ODBC clients may reject the connection if the GetInfo result returned by the server is not recognized, e.g. server version.
