I wanted to connect to Hive server with Hive ODBC driver (I am evaluating a BI application).
I noticed that the Hive source includes an ODBC driver, but that Cloudera created a closed-source proprietary ODBC driver instead. Why Cloudera didn't contribute to open source? I understand Cloudera has become proprietary in last few years (SCM express is proprietary, Hive ODBC driver is proprietary, management tools are proprietary). But in this case there was already Apache open source code for Hive ODBC driver and Cloudera chose not to contribute. Why?
