Connecting to HDFS via Datastage 9.1 installed on windows

Does that mean I won't be able to go ahead?

Yes, that is exactly what that means. Others will have to chime in to say if support was added in a later version but my quick attempt to google something up failed miserably.

Thanks chulett for your reply.

Unfortunately, the 11.3 version also has the same message!

I wonder if anyone has come across this situation earlier.

Yes, which is one of the reasons they chose to install on Linux.

For sourcing data from hadoop at non Linux/AIX IIS installations, workaround suggested by IBM is "For read only operations, JDBC/HIVE interface can be utilized".

We have not tried it.

Thanks ray, rkashyap.

I will check the JDBC connection part.

For what it's worth, the option is there....the File Connector supports WebHDFS and HttpFS protocols for reaching into Hadoop for hdfs.... I am using that on my Linux images, so haven't had a need to test it with my Windows image, but the option is there (in Windows 11.5) in the File Connector.....

Are you able to connect to HIVE using JDBC connection?

[ssk]

Have not tried it yet. Though I vaguely remember to have read somewhere that this connection is possible.
