Conversion Approach
Most other code conversion solutions package their offering as a black box service. This leaves clients unable to manipulate the code conversion process. BladeBridge, on the other hand, separates the conversion engine from the command definitions in the form of open configuration files. These files can be edited by the Systems Integrator or Client to provide greater flexibility to adapt during a code conversion project. The configurations are broken down into 3 loosely coupled files, which come together to facilitate a conversion:
Cloudera (Impala) Reader
The Reader is a BladeBridge Converter configuration file to read the metadata from a desired source. The configurations in the Reader are written to capture the bespoke attributes of the source metadata, so they can be read into the Bridge. The configuration of a Cloudera (Impala) Reader is already in place and ready for use
SAS BI Writer
The Writer is a BladeBridge Converter configuration file to write metadata that is compliant to the target platform. The source for the Writer is the Bridge. The configurations in the Writer are built to capture the nuances of the target platform technology. The configuration of a SAS BI Writer is estimated at 15 days of effort.
BRIDGE
The Bridge is a BladeBridge Converter configuration file to wire up the Reader inputs and the Writer outputs. The Bridge acts as a mechanism to loosely couple the Reader and Writer configurations so they can be mixed and matched. Additionally, BladeBridge configurations follow a deep inheritance model in their configuration definitions. The power of this methodology means that BladeBridge can rapidly create new Readers and Writers without having to detangle hard wired converters. This is why BladeBridge leads the market in configuring new connections and adaptation to the unknown. The configuration of the Bridge between the Cloudera (Impala) Reader and the SAS BI Writer is estimated at 10 days of effort.
Between the Reader, Writer, and Bridge it would take 25 days to configure a conversion from Cloudera (Impala) to SAS BI
There are over 10,000 combinations of Readers and Writers. BladeBridge has done work to pre-estimate the duration for their configuration. To validate your specific configuration requirements between Cloudera (Impala) and SAS BI we suggest conducting a review of your source metadata with our team. You can do so by filling out the form in the footer, or reaching out to one of our Integration partners.
