Want to integrate SAS Enterprise Guide with Hadoop(HDFS)

[rushi1]

Hello ,

We have one requirement where we want to continuously synchronize the data between SAS server directory and HDFS directory.
SAS tool which we are using is Enterprise Guide, we do not have any additional SAS utilities or tools for hadoop integration. Is it possible to achieve this without any extra SAS utility like Data loader for haddop or SAS/Access interface for hadoop. If possible can you please share the guide or steps with which we can achieve this.If this is not possible without any extra tools then which will be the best tool which we need to use for this integration.

Thanks in advance

You need to more specific in your requirements,like what kind of files are we talking about?

What is the use case in Hadoop?

Also, define "conterminously", what drives synchronization (time, event...)?

While waiting for clarification, just elaborating here...

Enterprise Guide is just a client, almost all work is done on the SAS server.

If you are to synchronize flat files, you can probably do it with any tool that can read/write to hdfs.

If you mean SAS or other relational data - without any integration products, you need to export it to a file format that your hdfs application can use.

If you want to drive file actions through SAS, take a look at PROC HADOOP, comes with Base SAS.
