Ankit Modi commented on PIG-1053: --------------------------------- This patch has an issue with custom comparators ( OrderBy) in Local Mode ( Does not affect MapReduce mode ). Details: Pig uses custom Comparators by setting OutputKeyComparator to the customComparator.class, and passing the jar path to JVM while starting the task. In this new local mode a new JVM is not started. So hadoop does not have the classpath of customComparator and fails. A solution for the above problem would be to pass jarpath of customComparator in the "classpath" argument to JVM running pig. eg. {code:title=CustomComparatorUse.pig} register custom.jar A = load 'file'; B = order A by * using custompackage.customclass; --- Here hadoop bails out giving ClassNotFoundException store B into 'file2' {code} JVM Command {{java -cp pig.jar org.pig.apache.Main -x local CustomComparatorUse.pig # This does not work}} Use this instead {{java -cp pig.jar:{color:red}custom.jar{color} org.pig.apache.Main -x local CustomComparatorUse.pig}} > Consider moving to Hadoop for local mode > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-1053 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1053 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Alan Gates > Assignee: Ankit Modi > Attachments: hadoopLocal.patch > > > We need to consider moving Pig to use Hadoop's local mode instead of its own. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
