System Requirements

System requirements for the SAS Data Loader for Hadoop vApp are specified in the SAS Data Loader for Hadoop: vApp Deployment Guide.

Hadoop Environment

Note: SAS In-Database Technologies for Hadoop must be installed before the installation of the SAS Data Loader for Hadoop vApp in order for the vApp to communicate successfully with the Hadoop cluster.
System requirements for the Hadoop environment are as follows:
  • Cloudera CDH 5.2 or Hortonworks HDP 2.1.
    Note: Both Hive 2 and YARN (MapReduce 2) are supported. MapReduce 1 is not supported.
  • If Kerberos security is supported on the Hadoop cluster, then the vApp must be configured for Kerberos on the client machine.
  • SAS Data Loader for Hadoop uses the SQOOP and OOZIE components of your Hadoop deployment to move data into or out of a DBMS. These components must be enabled in your Hadoop cluster in order to communicate with the DBMS to which SAS Data Loader for Hadoop users need access.
  • The JDBC drivers required by the DBMS that the SAS Data Loader for Hadoop users need access to must be installed on the Hadoop cluster.

SAS Server Environment

System requirements for the SAS Server environment are as follows:
  • Supported operating systems: AIX, HP IPF, Linux for x64, Solaris SPARC, Solaris for x64, Windows 32-bit server or workstation, and Windows for x64 server or workstation.
  • Base SAS 9.4, second maintenance release
