Syntax Error When Using Impala JDBC Driver

Syntax Error When Using Impala JDBC Driver

If you get the following error when running Impala query through Impala JDBC Driver:
com.cloudera.sqlengine.exceptions.SQLEngineException: [Simba][JSQLEngine](11000)

it is caused by Impala Driver tried to transform queries that were already in the Impala native form, and caused syntax error. The solution here is to add UseNativeQuery=1 in the JDBC query string parameter, for example:
jdbc:impala://localhost:21050;AuthMech=3;UID=UserName;PWD=Password&useNativeQuery=1
So that the query will not be transformed and remain as what ever the original query was, this should help with the error.
