Can serially code software utilize Hadoop benefits

I'm looking to setup a Hadoop cluster to take advantage of its parallel
architecture. I'd like to use R, SAS, or equivalent to run datamining or
analytics models. Since these analytics will by and large be serial, will
there be no benefit to using Hadoop over a single server? That is, does the
software have to be coded for parallel distribution in order for it to gain
any of the distinctive Hadoop advantages?

Thanks for any advice,
kbrownk

Thanks for the link. Sounds like it's tricky but may be possible to get some
specific benefits, though it'll take some serious vendor inquisition to
figure out how and what.

Hi,

I am unsure about SAS, but R does have some Hadoop-enabled software
out there that can leverage the offered parallelism. See the answer(s)
