SAS offers the SAS High-Performance Deployment of Hadoop
that includes the following:
-
Hadoop software that is provided
by Apache
-
two JAR files that provide services
that run inside Hadoop
-
an executable file,
saslasrfd
,
that facilitates reading data in parallel into SAS LASR Analytic Server
-
an installation program that simplifies
installation and configuration on the cluster
The JAR files and the
executable are installed automatically when you install SAS High-Performance Deployment of Hadoop.
As an alternative, you can manually configure several commercially
available Hadoop distributions with the JAR files and executable.
After you have performed the manual configuration, the commercially
available distribution is functionally equivalent to SAS High-Performance Deployment of Hadoop.
The cluster then supports parallel
I/O with SAS LASR Analytic Server
as well as operating with the SAS Data in HDFS engine.
