Overview of the SAS Embedded Process

The SAS Embedded Process runs within MapReduce to read and write data. The SAS Embedded Process runs on your Hadoop system where the data lives.
There are two methods by which you can deploy the SAS Embedded Process:
  • SAS Deployment Manager
    If you are using Cloudera, Hortonworks, IBM BigInsights, or Pivotal HD, you can use the SAS Deployment Manager to deploy the SAS Embedded Process to the Hadoop cluster.
  • SAS Embedded Process install script
    By default, the SAS Embedded Process install script (sasep-admin.sh) discovers the cluster topology and installs the SAS Embedded Process on all DataNode nodes, including the host node from where you run the script (the Hadoop master NameNode). This occurs even if a DataNode is not present. If you want to add the SAS Embedded Process to new nodes at a later time, you can run the sasep-admin.sh script with the -host <hosts> option.
    For distributions that are running MapReduce 1, the SAS Hadoop MapReduce JAR files are required in the hadoop/lib directory. For distributions that are running MapReduce 2, the SAS Hadoop MapReduce JAR files are in the EPInstallDir/SASEPHome/jars/ directory.
