Hadoop for Everyone

The SAS Data Loader software opens the vast resources of Hadoop to a wider community, and adds the power of SAS to maximize the extraction of knowledge. Today, instead of requiring consultation, business analysts use this approachable wizard-based web application to perform a full range of data management tasks, all of which run directly in Hadoop.

You do not need to be an expert in Hadoop to be able to run with the elephant! You too can copy data to and from Hadoop. You too can profile, cleanse, query, transform, and analyze data in Hadoop.

Hadoop experts can also appreciate ease-of-use. SAS Data Loader for Hadoop builds directives as jobs. Each job generates and displays executable code, which can be edited and saved for reuse. SAS DS2 programs, DS2 expressions, and HiveQL expressions can be dropped into directives to repeat execution and simplify job management.

Everyone can appreciate client software that is easy to install, configure, secure, and update. The web application for SAS Data Loader for Hadoop is delivered and runs in a virtual machine called a vApp. The vApp installs quickly, runs in isolation using a guest operating system, and updates with a single click. The vApp for SAS Data Loader is rapidly configured to use the Kerberos security system that is implemented in many Hadoop environments.

To bring the power of SAS into Hadoop, the SAS In-Database Technologies for Hadoop are deployed across the nodes of your Hadoop cluster. The in-database software enables data cleansing and embedded-process efficiency.
