Thejas M Nair updated PIG-2152: ------------------------------- Attachment: PIG-2152.1.patch Vivek and Josh, thanks for tracing the issue. I have the change to fix this in PIG-2152.1.patch, but I don't have the setup and query that I can use to verify the fix. It is not easy to test this in a unit test, so it does not have any. > Null pointer exception while reporting progress > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-2152 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2152 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.9.0 > Reporter: Olga Natkovich > Fix For: 0.9.1 > > Attachments: PIG-2152.1.patch, null_pointer_traces (copy) > > > We have observed the following issues with code built from Pig 0.9 branch.
