ODBC configuration to connect to Spark Thrift Server

This question might seem repeated, in fact, I've seen a couple of questions related to this but not exactly with the same error, so I'm asking to see if anyone has a clue.

I've set up a Spark Thrift Server running with default settings. Spark version is 2.1 and it runs on YARN (Hadoop 2.7.3)

The fact is that I'm not able to setup either the Simba hive ODBC driver nor the Microsoft one so that the Test in the ODBC setup succeeds.

This is the config I'm using for the Microsoft Hive ODBC driver:

When I hit the Test button, the error message shown is the following:

While in the Spark Thrift Server logs the following is seen:

If I connect using the JDBC driver by means of Beeline (which works ok), these are the logs:

Well I managed to connect successfully by installing the Microsoft Spark ODBC driver instead of the Hive one. It looked like the problem had to do with the driver rejecting to connect to Spark Thrift Server when discovering it was not a Hive2 server based on some server property. I doubt there are actual differences at the wire level between Hive2 and Spark thrift server because the latter is a port of the former without changes at the protocol level (Thrift), but in any case, the solution is to move to this driver and configuring it the same way as the Hive2 one:
