SUMMARY
„The Apache Hive driver has detected it is connected to Apache Spark SQL Server. This is not recommended” error message is displayed while connecting to Spark SQL database in 10.4 GA running in Unix platforms

SOLUTION
Beginning in 10.4, Strategy introduced a new driver specifically for use with Spark SQL. One can create a DSN by adding the relevant section to odbc.ini file (like with any external DSN).
Create a DSN using the following information:
