Summary

Dremio is a data lakehouse platform that enables self-service analytics on data lakes, redefining the architecture by blending the best elements of data lakes and warehouses. The ARP (Advanced Relational Pushdown) framework simplifies the creation of new Dremio-compatible Connectors for any data source with a JDBC driver, allowing for optimized query performance and reduced network traffic. To build a Dremio connector, developers must understand the basics of Dremio's architecture and the ARP framework, set up their development environment, create a connector project, define the connector, optimize for performance, build the connector, test thoroughly, and deploy and document the connector. This guide provides a lightweight overview of creating Dremio ARP connectors using CData JDBC Drivers, which can be used to connect to various data sources such as Microsoft Access databases, SAP systems, SQL Server, and Microsoft SharePoint, ultimately unifying diverse data sources for advanced analytics and informed business decisions.
