We are trying to use the HBaseStorage LoadFunc in pig 0.8 and getting an
exception.

What are the requirements for getting hbase storage to work?
This is what I am doing:
1 - added hbase config and hadoop config to my PIG_CLASSPATH
2 - pig this script:
REGISTER ../lib/hbase-0.20.6.jar
raw = LOAD 'hbase://piggytest' USING
org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.hbase.HBaseStorage('content:field1 anchor:field1a
anchor:field2a') as (content_field1, anchor_field1a, anchor_field2a);
dump raw;
---
what else am I missing?
