Connect other Pentaho components to HDI

The following sections explain how to create and test a connection to HDI in the Pentaho Server, Pentaho Report Designer (PRD), and Pentaho Metadata Editor (PME). Creating and testing a connection to HDI in the PDI client involves two tasks:

• Install a driver for the Pentaho Server. See Set up Pentaho to connect to a Hadoop cluster

• Create and test the HDI connections to other Pentaho components.
