About the SAS Plug-ins for Hadoop

SAS has discontinued delivery of SAS High-Performance Deployment for Hadoop. Instead, SAS offers the SAS Plug-ins for Hadoop package that enables SAS LASR Analytic Server to work with SASHDAT files in HDFS. The package includes the following:
  • two JAR files that provide services that run inside Hadoop (sas.lasr.jar and sas.lasr.hadoop.jar)
  • an executable file, saslasrfd, that facilitates reading data in parallel into SAS LASR Analytic Server
  • a JAR file that enables resource management with YARN (sas.grid.provider.yarn.jar)
The software enables a cluster to support parallel I/O with SAS LASR Analytic Server as well as operating with the SASHDAT engine.
