I am trying to use the function HBaseStorage() in my Pig code in order to load an HBase table into Pig.
When I run my code, I get this error: ERROR 2998: Unhandled internal error. org/apache/hadoop/hbase/filter/WritableByteArrayComparable I believe the PIG_CLASSPATH needs to be extended to include the classpath for loading HBase, but I am not sure how to do this. I've tried several export commands in the unix shell to change the PIG_CLASSPATH, but nothing seems to be working. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks, Andrew Botelho
