In reply to Razi.

Razi, that's a great question. My post was focused on SAS 9.4, but plenty of sites still rely on SAS 9.3 in their production environments.

When it comes to what you're looking for, it is roughly split up into 2 areas:
1. Base SAS + SAS/ACCESS Interface to Hadoop
2. SAS In-Database Embedded Process for Hadoop

It sounds like you've already found the documentation you need for #1 - the SAS/ACCESS® 9.3 for Relational Databases: Reference, Second Edition.

For #2, there is are a couple of documents you'll want to review:
- SAS® 9.3 In-Database Products: Administrator's Guide, Fourth Edition
- SAS® High-Performance Analytics Infrastructure: Installation and Configuration Guide

Make note that "In-Database Deployment Package for Hadoop" and "SAS Embedded Process" are often used interchangeably in reference to the product.

Also take care in your planning - for SAS 9.3, the SAS Embedded Process for Hadoop is only supported on Cloudera's CDH4 distribution of Hadoop.

And then there were fewer features offered in the SAS 9.3 era - the SAS Embedded Process for Hadoop was primarily intended to provide high-performance parallel data streaming from the Hadoop provider over to the SAS In-Memory solution components (such as SAS High-Performance Analytics Server). It doesn't offer many of the interesting and valuable features we now enjoy with SAS 9.4.

Hope this helps get you on track,
Rob
