Description

The full path to the directory where the connector creates swap files to temporarily cache data on disk. Swap files are temporary data files that are created by the connector during certain operations. The files are deleted once the operation that created them is complete.

Note:

When setting this property, make sure to specify a location that the connector can write to, and that the location provides sufficient storage space. If the connector cannot create swap files in the specified location, errors may occur.

By default, the connector determines which directory to use for swap files based on the following search order:

  1. The directory specified by the TMP environment variable.
  2. The directory specified by the TEMP environment variable.
  3. The directory specified by the USERPROFILE environment variable.
  4. The Windows directory (%windir%).

To configure this option, you create a value for it in one of the following registry keys:

  • For a 32-bit connector installed on a 64-bit machine: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Simba\Simba HBase ODBC Driver\Driver
  • Otherwise: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Simba\Simba HBase ODBC Driver\Driver

Use SwapFilePath as the value name, and the directory path that you want to specify as the value data.

To configure this option, you must use the simba.hbaseodbc.ini file.
