Installing the Driver on Mac OS X

Install the Drill ODBC Driver on the machine from which you connect to the Drill service.

Install the Drill ODBC Driver on a system that meets the system requirements. Complete the following steps, described in detail in this document:

System Requirements

To install the driver, you need Administrator privileges on the computer.

  • Mac OS X version 10.9, 10.10, or 10.11
  • 100 MB of available disk space
  • iODBC 3.52.7 or later The iodbc-config file in the /usr/local/iODBC/bin includes the version of the driver.
  • The client must be able to resolve the actual host name of the Drill node or nodes from the IP address. Verify that a DNS entry was created on the client machine for the Drill node or nodes. If not, create an entry in /etc/hosts for each node in the following format: <drill-machine-IP> <drill-machine-hostname>.

    Example: 127.0.0.1 localhost

Step 1: Download the Drill ODBC Driver

Note

Post the acquisition of MapR by HPE, the MapR ODBC driver's licensing and distribution have changed.

The latest advice shared with the open source project by HPE follows.

You must create a HPE passport account with your email, then you must obtain a token: https://docs.ezmeral.hpe.com/datafabric-customer-managed/75/AdvancedInstallation/Obtaining_a_Token.html. With your token and your passport email then you can connect to https://package.ezmeral.hpe.com/tools/MapR-ODBC/MapR_Drill/MapRDrill_odbc_v1.5.1.1002/.
