Modify the Existing MapR Hadoop Cluster

To configure your existing MapR Hadoop cluster to interoperate with the SAS High-Performance Analytics environment, follow these steps:

On all the SAS High-Performance Analytics environment nodes (the name node and all its worker nodes), create an identical mountpoint for your MapR file system.

For more information, see http://doc.mapr.com/display/MapR/Setting+Up+MapR+NFS.
When deploying the SAS High-Performance Analytics environment, enter this NFS mountpoint when prompted (for example, /mapr/my.cluster.com).

For more information, see Configuration Parameters for the TKGrid Shell Script.
If you are deploying SAS Visual Analytics, see Hadoop Configuration Step for SAS Visual Analytics.

After you have deployed SAS, for SAS LASR Analytic Server, add a server that loads from the NFS mountpoint. You can populate data in all the normal ways: copy to the SASHDAT engine, save an in-memory table, or use PROC IMXFer from a server running on a conventional Hadoop distribution.

For more information, see the SAS LASR Analytic Server: Reference Guide.
