SAS Visual Analytics
offers self-service options for importing data from BigInsights, Cloudera,
Cloudera Impala, Hortonworks, MapR, and Pivotal HD. Each of these
databases requires separate setup by your administrator.
A common connection
type for all of these databases is to connect to Hive or HiveServer2,
and then import tables.
If the Hadoop
cluster is configured with the SAS Embedded Process, then you can perform parallel loading
from HDFS to SAS LASR Analytic Server. In this case, the
Configuration field must specify the path to a Hadoop
configuration file. You must also specify at least the HDFS_METADIR= and HDFS_DATADIR= options in the
Hadoop
options field. More options might be necessary for your
site. For information about setting up parallel loading from Hadoop,
see the Where Do I Locate My Analytics Cluster topic in
SAS Visual Analytics: Installation and Configuration Guide (Distributed SAS LASR).
