Hi Uttam,

Very interesting your post.

I would like to know a bit about SAS and Hadoop integration.

I know that you can connect SAS to Haddop via libname using SAS/ACCESS to Hadoop. As far as I know in that case you interact with Hadoop using HiveQL. You can insert SAS tables in HDFS using hiveQL and you can read Hive tables from SAS.

Other way is using data loader product. I think it also connect with HiveQL

Also you can use proc hadoop to execute hdfs commands or proc sqoop as you well explained in your post

I would like to know how you can do analytics procedures in Hadoop. For example High performance analytics procedures. I have read that this HP procedures can work with Hadoop, but how does it worsks??, is also a connector using HiveQL?, can you execute the procedures in the haddop clusters using map-reduce??, I wnat to know more about thin interaction....if you only gest data from Hadoop or if you can take advantage of hadoop clusters performance executing in a parallel architecture.

Other question... SAS Visual Analytics and Hadoop,...I supopose that you can get information from Hadoop (vía HiveQL) and upload to LASR server..is it right??, all the calculations and aggregations are made in LASR not in Hadoop cluster..is it right??

Thank in advance
