Hi Juan,

Thank you reading my blog and asking relevant questions.

SAS provide in-database component for hadoop called "SAS Embedded Process for hadoop", which enables you to process data on the hadoop cluster. SAS EP for hadoop enables you to execute SAS data steps, code accelerator and procedure at hadoop cluster in the form of map reduce task/job. While running data processing on hadoop cluster, it uses resources available at hadoop cluster in conjugation with YARN.

In case of SAS Visual Analytics integration with external hadoop cluster, again SAS EP helps you to load data to LASR using multi-thread parallel process. Once data is available to LASR, all calculations and aggregations occurs at LASR server.
