How to persist native SAS data sets to Hadoop (Hive)

[deepika2]

Hi,

I am having a table in Hive and using that table I am trying to create a temporary table in Hive based on some conditions and lookup values, which are stored in a SAS dataset.

I am using Execute (insert into ....  ) by hadoop inside proc sql. On using the SAS dataset reference inside Execute by hadoop, it gives me an error.

Can somebody suggest how can I achieve this.

Thanks for the help.

Please share the code/log so we better can understand what you are trying to do. Including the look-up step.

Hi @deepika2

Anything enclosed in the parentheses is sent directly to Hive. Hive doesn't know anything about a SAS data set so you will get an error. 

EXECUTE (all this stuff goes straight to Hive) BY HADOOP;

Update: I just noticed the Subject of this post. Are you trying to store SAS7BDAT files on HDFS?

Best wishes,

Jeff
