Preview features in Cloudera Data Warehouse on premises 1.5.5 SP2

This release of the Cloudera Data Warehouse service on premises 1.5.5 Service Pack 2 release introduces this technical preview.

Impala now supports tables created with the Hive JDBC Storage handler (Preview)

Previously, Impala had difficulty reading tables created using the Hive JDBC Storage handler due to differences in how table properties, such as JDBC driver and DBCP configurations, were defined compared to Impala-created tables.

Impala now translates and adapts the Hive JDBC table properties upon loading, making them compatible with Impala's internal requirements. See, Impala support for external JDBC tables (Preview)
