The solution was provided by SAS Technical support. We should be able to surface the zookeeper configuration from your xml files if you remove the uri= option and continue to not have a server= as well. For example, the working caslib statement for our internal zookeeper cluster is just: caslib hdlib
datasource=(srctype="hadoop", dataTransferMode="serial", username="hive",
hadoopjarpath="/opt/sas/hadoop/lib",
hadoopconfigdir="/opt/sas/hadoop/conf",
schema="hidetail"); If a similar caslib statement still times out for you then you may want to add the login_time= option with a value of 60.(the default is 30 for hadoop)
