Implementation

The implementation of SAS Data Loader for Hadoop follows these steps:

Install and configure the SAS In-Database Technologies for Hadoop.
- Administrators (Hadoop, SAS, or System) deploy software on the nodes of a Hadoop cluster.
- The in-database technologies are documented entirely and exclusively in the SAS Data Loader for Hadoop: Administrator's Guide.
Deliver site-specific files and settings to vApp installers.
- Based on site specifics, administrators deliver Hadoop JAR files, JDBC drivers, and settings for Kerberos security, database connections, and SAS LASR Analytic Server connections.
- Administrators refer to the SAS Data Loader for Hadoop: Administrator's Guide. Persons installing the vApp web application refer exclusively to the SAS Data Loader for Hadoop: vApp Deployment Guide.
Install and configure the vApp.
- Persons installing the vApp install a hypervisor, install the vApp for SAS Data Loader, and configure both.
- Persons installing the vApp refer exclusively to the SAS Data Loader for Hadoop: vApp Deployment Guide. vApp installation is straightforward. The configuration of the vApp takes place entirely in the user interface of the web application .
Use and administer SAS Data Loader for Hadoop.
- vApp users create jobs, administer the vApp, and update the vApp using this document, the SAS Data Loader for Hadoop: User’s Guide.
- Administrators manage the in-database SAS software using the SAS Data Loader for Hadoop: Administrator’s Guide.
