Thrift JDBC/ODBC Server (aka Spark Thrift Server or STS) is Spark SQL’s port of Apache Hive’s HiveServer2 that allows JDBC/ODBC clients to execute SQL queries over JDBC and ODBC protocols on Apache Spark. With Spark Thrift Server, users can work with their Business Intelligence (BI) tools, e.g. Power BI, Tableau or Microsoft Excel, and connect to Apache Spark using the ODBC interface. Additionally, you can check out our samples in the GitHub repository for code examples using a JDBC connection to query Conduit connectors.

Spark Thrift Server can be configured to listen in two modes (aka transport modes):

  1. Binary mode — clients should send thrift requests in binary

  2. HTTP mode — clients send thrift requests over HTTP (the mode this endpoint type is using)

 

You can connect to Conduit in a variety of tools. The screenshot below shows connection setup in Dbeaver.
