Problem with Pig 0.16 and Phoenix 4.8

[Salou Guillaume]

Hi,

I use Phoenix since 1 year under Phoenix 4.6 / Pig 0.12 / Cloudera CDH 5.4.1

Since we have migrated to pig 0.16 / Phoenix 4.8 / Hadoop 2.7 / JDK
1.8  load and store are broken.

We always have reducers fail, sometimes job fails sometimes it succeded :

We register phoenix jars like this :

REGISTER 
'/opt/apache-phoenix-4.8.0-HBase-1.2-bin/phoenix-pig-4.8.0-HBase-1.2.jar';
REGISTER 
'/opt/apache-phoenix-4.8.0-HBase-1.2-bin/phoenix-4.8.0-HBase-1.2-client.jar';


I've found same issues :

PigScrits which are not using Phoenix are OK.

On org.apache.phoenix.pig.PhoenixHBaseStorage we seems to have more
problems with

ERROR 0: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.joda.time.DateTime cannot be cast to

org.apache.phoenix.shaded.org.joda.time.DateTime


and related to : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-3240


We are switching all our cluster to java 1.7.


Any remark, advice, feedback on this kind of problem could be of great help.
