# Amazon EMR

If you plan to use AEL with Amazon EMR, note the following conditions:

* To use Amazon EMR with AEL, you must install the Linux LZO compression library, see [LZO support](/install/9.3-install/pentaho-configuration/tasks-to-be-performed-by-an-it-administrator/set-up-the-adaptive-execution-layer-ael/vendor-supplied-clients/amazon-emr/lzo-support.md) for more information.
* To use Amazon EMR with AEL and Hive, you must [Configure the AEL daemon for a Hive service](/install/9.3-install/pentaho-configuration/tasks-to-be-performed-by-an-it-administrator/set-up-the-adaptive-execution-layer-ael/vendor-supplied-clients/hive-ael-setup-specific-to-hive/configure-the-ael-daemon-for-a-hive-service.md).
* To use the HBase Input and HBase Output steps with AEL and Amazon EMR, see **Using HBase steps with Amazon EMR 5.21** in the **Pentaho Data Integration** document.
* Because of limitations in Amazon EMR 4.0 and later, Impala is not supported on Spark.

  **Note:** Impala is not available as a download on the EMR Cluster configuration menu.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/install/9.3-install/pentaho-configuration/tasks-to-be-performed-by-an-it-administrator/set-up-the-adaptive-execution-layer-ael/vendor-supplied-clients/amazon-emr.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
