## Databricks
Databricks now offer a native DB API 2.0 driver, `databricks-sql-connector`, that can be used with the `sqlalchemy-databricks` dialect. You can install both with:
```bash
pip install "superset[databricks]"
```
To use the Hive connector you need the following information from your cluster:
- Server hostname
- Port
- HTTP path
These can be found under "Configuration" -> "Advanced Options" -> "JDBC/ODBC".
You also need an access token from "Settings" -> "User Settings" -> "Access Tokens".
Once you have all this information, add a database of type "Databricks Native Connector" and use the following SQLAlchemy URI:
```
databricks+connector://token:{access_token}@{server_hostname}:{port}/{database_name}
```
You also need to add the following configuration to "Other" -> "Engine Parameters", with your HTTP path:
```json
{
"connect_args": {"http_path": "sql/protocolv1/o/****"}
}
```
## Older driver
Originally Superset used `databricks-dbapi` to connect to Databricks. You might want to try it if you're having problems with the official Databricks connector:
```bash
pip install "databricks-dbapi[sqlalchemy]"
```
There are two ways to connect to Databricks when using `databricks-dbapi`: using a Hive connector or an ODBC connector. Both ways work similarly, but only ODBC can be used to connect to [SQL endpoints](https://docs.databricks.com/sql/admin/sql-endpoints.html).
### Hive
To connect to a Hive cluster add a database of type "Databricks Interactive Cluster" in Superset, and use the following SQLAlchemy URI:
```
databricks+pyhive://token:{access_token}@{server_hostname}:{port}/{database_name}
```
You also need to add the following configuration to "Other" -> "Engine Parameters", with your HTTP path:
```json
{"connect_args": {"http_path": "sql/protocolv1/o/****"}}
```
### ODBC
For ODBC you first need to install the [ODBC drivers for your platform](https://databricks.com/spark/odbc-drivers-download).
For a regular connection use this as the SQLAlchemy URI after selecting either "Databricks Interactive Cluster" or "Databricks SQL Endpoint" for the database, depending on your use case:
```
databricks+pyodbc://token:{access_token}@{server_hostname}:{port}/{database_name}
```
And for the connection arguments:
```json
{"connect_args": {"http_path": "sql/protocolv1/o/****", "driver_path": "/path/to/odbc/driver"}}
```
The driver path should be:
- `/Library/simba/spark/lib/libsparkodbc_sbu.dylib` (Mac OS)
- `/opt/simba/spark/lib/64/libsparkodbc_sb64.so` (Linux)
For a connection to a SQL endpoint you need to use the HTTP path from the endpoint:
```json
{"connect_args": {"http_path": "/sql/1.0/endpoints/****", "driver_path": "/path/to/odbc/driver"}}
```
