# Hortonworks

You can use multiple vendor versions of the Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) with the PDI client. To use the vendor’s version of the Spark client with Hive Warehouse Connector (HWC) on HDP 3.x platforms, you must [configure the AEL daemon for the Hive Warehouse Connector](/install/9.3-install/pentaho-configuration/tasks-to-be-performed-by-an-it-administrator/set-up-the-adaptive-execution-layer-ael/vendor-supplied-clients/hive-ael-setup-specific-to-hive/configuring-the-ael-daemon-for-hive-warehouse-connector-on-your-hortonworks-cluster/configure-the-ael-daemon-for-hive-warehouse-connector-ael-setup-specific-to-hive.md).

To use HBase with AEL and HDP, you must [add copies of HBase JAR files to your PDI distribution](/install/9.3-install/pentaho-configuration/tasks-to-be-performed-by-an-it-administrator/set-up-the-adaptive-execution-layer-ael/vendor-supplied-clients/hortonworks/use-hbase-with-ael-and-hdp-ael-setup-specific-to-hdp.md).
