Hello Experts One of my customer who is running SAS9.4M5 is face of several problems regarding Hadoop. At this time he’s using Cloudera/Kudu, in this kind of configuration kudu only support string format (not varchar). The problem is how to deal “32k thing” problem. We know the “solution” of limit the length of strings via the ODBC driver… But it’s not really an acceptable solution because all string length are set to i.e. 255 (so a length of 3 become a 255 string length). The customer asked to cloudera about a kudu/varchar solution, but they explained to them that string is beginning to be the standard and other editor needs to adapt their software… After we said that what can we advise to our customer? The first idea of my customer was to use SAS as the official software to run request on cloudera/kudu via impala… but now they have some soubts about it…7 Do you know if its “32k thing” exists only with SAS? Or it exists also for other software? The idea there is to prove to my customer that maybe it’s not a specific SAS issue… And also do you know if SAS will have a way to deal “correctly” with string via impala when access to cloudera/kudu? Thanks for your help Regards Fabrice
