    Good day,

    I haven't been able to come across anything related to this error in the internet. I am not very familiar with encoding and such so I could use a little help. Thanks in advance!

    I have resolved this issue, but I am not really sure how. I uninstalled the Cloudera Driver for Impala and reinstalled an older version, then I set up the ODBC connection again. When I used this connection in my report, I was able to successfully load the Hadoop data without any error.

    Not sure if it was a bug or a problem on the ODBC driver, but yeah there's that.

    Hmmm, I'll see if I can take a look but I don't really have a good way to test.
