About the SAS High-Performance Deployment of Hadoop

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.
