Getting Started
Prerequisites
This article assumes you are utilizing Docker to run Dremio. You can create a Docker container with the Dremio service using a command similar to the follow:
docker run -d --name dremio -p 9047:9047 -p 31010:31010 dremio/dremio-oss
Where dremio is the name of the container, 9047 is the container's port for the Dremio web interface and 31010 is the port that maps to the Dremio query service. dremio/dremio-oss specifies the image to use.
Build the ARP Connector
To use the CData JDBC Driver in Dremio, you need to build an Advanced Relation Pushdown (ARP) Connector. You can view the source code for the Connector on GitHub or download the ZIP file (GitHub.com) directly. Once you copy or extract the files, run the following command from the root directory of the connector (the directory containing the pom.xml file) to build the connector.
mvn clean install
NOTE: The CData ARP Connectors are build to be compiled with Java 11. Be sure to install Java 11 and use the correct version. You can update your Java version using a command similar to the following:
sudo update-alternatives --config java
Once the JAR file for the connector is built (in the target directory), you are ready to copy the ARP connector and JDBC Driver to your Dremio instance.
Installing the Connector and JDBC Driver
Install the ARP Connector to %DREMIO_HOME%/jars/ and the JDBC Driver for HubSpot to %DREMIO_HOME%/jars/3rdparty. You can use commands similar to the following:
ARP Connector
docker cp PATH\TO\dremio-hubspot-plugin-{DREMIO_VERSION}.jar dremio_image_name:/opt/dremio/jars/
JDBC Driver for HubSpot
docker cp PATH\TO\cdata.jdbc.hubspot.jar dremio_image_name:/opt/dremio/jars/3rdparty/
Connecting to HubSpot
HubSpot will now appear as an External Source option in Dremio. The ARP Connector built uses a JDBC URL to connect to HubSpot data. The JDBC Driver has a built-in connection string designer that you can use (see below).

Built-in Connection String Designer
For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the HubSpot JDBC Driver. Double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command line.
java -jar cdata.jdbc.hubspot.jar
Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.
HubSpot uses the OAuth authentication standard. You can use the embedded OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, and CallbackURL or you can obtain your own by registering an app.
See the Getting Started chapter of the help documentation for a guide to using OAuth.

NOTE: To use the JDBC Driver in Dremio, you will need a license (full or trial) and a Runtime Key (RTK). For more information on obtaining this license (or a trial), contact our sales team.
Add the Runtime Key (RTK) to the JDBC URL. You will end up with a JDBC URL similar to the following:
jdbc:hubspot:RTK=5246...;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH
Access HubSpot as an External Source
To add HubSpot as an External Source, click to add a new source and select HubSpot. Copy the JDBC URL and paste it into the New HubSpot Source wizard.

Save the connection and you are ready to query live HubSpot data in Dremio, easily incorporating HubSpot data into your data lake.
