 |  |  |  |
When writing SAS data to Impala, you can get the following error when using version 2.6 of the Impala driver with a DATA step:
ERROR: During insert: [Cloudera][ImpalaODBC] (360) Syntax error occurred during query execution: [HY000] : AnalysisException:Syntax error in line 1:...eight`,`Weight`) VALUES ( ? , ? , ? , ? , ? ) ^Encountered:

Unexpected characterExpected: CASE, CAST, DEFAULT, EXISTS, FALSE, IF, INTERVAL, NOT, NULL, REPLACE, TRUNCATE, TRUE, IDENTIFIERCAUSED BY: Exception: Syntax error
You encounter this issue when you submit code similar to the following:
data myimp.class_nobk;
set sashelp.class;
run;
set sashelp.class;
run;
The problem occurs because of a bug in the 2.6 level of the Impala ODBC driver from Cloudera.
To circumvent the problem, install the latest ODBC driver from Impala.
