I have a customer that just deployed MapR 6.2 (HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric). Asking this question for them.
When is SAS Viya is planning to be compatible with Hadoop MapR 6.2 (HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric)?
Our understanding for SAS 9.4 product:
- Current SAS version relies on Java 8.
- MapR is currently using Java 11.
- SAS relies on native client JAR libraries to interop between it and other services and the libraries MapR is using/providing (Java 11 based) aren’t backwards compatible to Java 8.
So it seems like the integration with MapR 6.2 will work when SAS will add support for Java 11.
