Metabase Driver: Databricks SQL Warehouse

This project is based on:

1. Community Databricks Driver
2. Databricks SparkSQL Driver

Installation

Beginning with Metabase 0.32, drivers must be stored in a plugins directory in the same directory where metabase.jar is, or you can specify the directory by setting the environment variable MB_PLUGINS_DIR. There are a few options to get up and running with a custom driver.

You can find jar file on the release page or you can build it locally.

Build

Run the following command to build plugin jar file:

make build

If all succeed you will find the driver jar under ./plugins folder.

Run Locally

make run

Once the Metabase startup completes, you can access your Metabase at localhost:3000, which pulls metabase docker image and then start this project.

Add Data

When you first access, fill some basic info and then go to "Add your data" section and follow these steps:

1. Choose "Databricks SQL" source;
2. Open your DataBricks SQL Server information at Databricks and copy host, http-path and your personal-access-token (first image below).
3. Fill these info into metabase form (second image below).
