Setting properties in Connect In-DB tool

 

I'm using Alteryx with an Hadoop Cluster, so I'm using lots of In-DB tools to build my workflows using Simba Hive ODBC Driver.

 

My Hadoop administrator set some king of default properties in order to share the power of the cluster to many people.

 

But some intensive workflow request need to override some properties. For instance, I must adjust the size of the TEZ container in setting specific values for hive.tez.container.size and hive.tez.java.opts.

 

A work-arround is to set those properties in the server side properties panel in ODBC Administrator but if I have many different configuration, I will have a lot of ODBC datasource which is not the ideal.

 

If I could directly set those properties in the Connect In-DB tool, it would be nice.
