Overview

Here is an overview of the steps:

1. CONFIGURE THE ODBC DRIVER: Set up a connection to Impala data in the CData ODBC Driver for Impala by entering the required connection properties.
2. SET UP ODBC CONNECTION IN SPSS MODELER: Establish the ODBC connection within IBM SPSS Modeler by selecting the configured DSN.
3. IMPORT AND PROCESS DATA: Import the Impala data data into SPSS Modeler, then review, filter, transform, and prepare the data for predictive analytics and statistical modeling.

Configure the Impala DSN Using the CData ODBC Driver

To start, configure the DSN (Data Source Name) for Impala data in your system using the CData ODBC Driver. Download and install a 30-day free trial with all the features from here.

Once installed, launch the ODBC Data Source Administrator:

• On Windows: Search for ODBC Data Source Administrator in the Start menu and open the application.
• On Mac: Open Applications, go to Utilities, and select ODBC Manager.
• On Linux: Use the command line to launch ODBC Data Source Administrator or use unixODBC if installed.

Once launched, double-click on the CData Impala data Source and enter the required values to establish a connection:

In order to connect to Apache Impala, set the Server, Port, and ProtocolVersion. You may optionally specify a default Database. To connect using alternative methods, such as NOSASL, LDAP, or Kerberos, refer to the online Help documentation.

Setup an ODBC Connection in IBM SPSS Modeler

After configuring the DSN, it's time to connect to it in IBM SPSS Modeler:

• Launch IBM SPSS Modeler, log in, and create a new stream.

• From the Sources palette, locate the Database node, and drag it onto the canvas.

• Double-click the Database node to open the configuration dialog. Select , browse to select the configured DSN, then click OK.
• In the Database dialog, browse to select the table(s) you’d like to import, preview the data, and click OK to finalize.

You are now ready to process and analyze the Impala data data in IBM SPSS Modeler.

Process Data: Filter, Categories, and Model

Once the tables are imported, you can refine, filter, categorize, and model your Impala data data in SPSS Modeler:

• Filtering: Double-click your Database connection, go to the Filter section, and select/deselect fields to focus on relevant data. This improves processing speed and model accuracy.

• Set Data Types and Roles: Categorize your fields and assign roles to each data type by navigating to the Types section.

• Perform a Basic Analysis: Drag and drop the Analysis node next to your Database node, connect them, and click the Play button to run the stream and analyze the data.

You have now performed a simple analysis, enabling SPSS Modeler to process and display insights from your database.
