With this hot fix, SAS removes support for Apache Spark SQL connectivity through ODBC within SAS Data Management Platform 2.8 and 2.9. Future releases of SAS Data Management, including DataFlux Data Management Studio and DataFlux Data Management Server, will no longer deliver support for Apache Spark SQL connectivity through ODBC. If this driver was used, you can migrate to ODBC or Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) drivers that are available for free from Spark engine vendors.
