Supporting Multiple Hadoop Versions and upgrading Hadoop Version
The JAR files in the SAS_HADOOP_JAR_PATH directory and .xml files found in the SAS_HADOOP_CONFIG_PATH directory must match the Hadoop server to which SAS connects. If you have multiple Hadoop servers running different Hadoop versions, create and populate separate directories with version-specific Hadoop JAR and XML files for each Hadoop version.
The SAS_HADOOP_JAR_PATH and SAS_HADOOP_CONFIG_PATH directory can be dynamically set depending on which Hadoop server a SAS job or SAS session connects to. Example below:
options set=SAS_HADOOP_JAR_PATH='K:\user\Hadoop\TSD\cdh5\jars';
options set=SAS_HADOOP_CONFIG_PATH='K:\user\Hadoop\TSD\cdh5\sitexmls';
libname cdh5 hadoop server='severname.domain.com';
