Restrictions for Sharing an SPDSBASE in Hadoop Environments

SPD Server 5.2 and later provides support for SPD Server tables in Hadoop domains. The Hadoop environment requires additional restrictions if you want to share SPDSBASE processes.
To access the Hadoop cluster, the SPD Server user proxy forks and executes the SAS Java proxy (JProxy) process. The SAS Java proxy process provides the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) environment that is required to communicate with the Hadoop cluster. A Java proxy is configured to access only one Hadoop cluster.
In order for Hadoop LIBNAME domains to share the same user proxy, the LIBNAME domains must have the same values for the following options:
  • HADOOPCFG= and HADOOPJAR= must have the same values
  • HADOOPUSER= and HADOOPREALM= options must have the same values
