Hi

I run this code to extract Hadoop Metadata

proc sql;
 connect to hadoop ( &hadoop_connection.);
 create table METADATA as
   select * from connection to hadoop ( describe extended &tableout. );
 disconnect from hadoop;
quit;

 

 and I can't get rid of the dreaded Hadoop warning:

WARNING: The following columns could have a length in SAS of 32767. If so, SAS performance is impacted. See SAS/ACCESS documentation for details.

 

Any way to disable this pesky warning and extract the metadata ?

Take a look at page 20 of the following document: http://support.sas.com/resources/thirdpartysupport/v94/hadoop/sas-hadoop-performance-strategies.pdf

 

The answer, I think, is to issue alter statements to Hadoop in order to set the desired SAS properties.

Thank you for your answers. Sady no luck yet.

@art297 I am not reading a table so I cannot set column properties.
@Ksharp This option is only used by data steps.
