I haven't spent much time working with their ODBC driver, but I've had no problems with it on our CDH3u2 Hive server so far.
Functionality with SSIS and BIDS is my primary concern, so we can cut out FTP operations on both ends.

Looking for a way to connect .NET Web apps to Hive for some process flow upgrades. Thanks!
