SAS 9.4METADATA SERVER CLUSTERINGWhat is a Metadata Server Cluster? Coordinated set of connected metadata servers Appear as a single standard metadata server toclientsBenefits of Metadata Server Clustering Provide failure recovery for high availability Provides scalable performance for largedeployments

SAS 9.4METADATA HOW DOES CLUSTERING WORKA cluster is three or more metadataserver nodesEach node is a full metadata serverwith a complete copy of all metadataOne node is designated the masterto coordinate the clusterAll other nodes are slave nodesClients connect to slave nodesOnce connected it looks like astandard single server to the client

SAS 9.4SAS AND HADOOPUse SPD Engine with Hadoop Read, write, and update data through the HadoopDistributed File System (HDFS). Submit configuration properties to the Hadoop server.Why it matters Customers can take advantage of the benefits ofHadoop HDFS to store and access SAS data setsstored across their Hadoop clusters.
