Hi, I loaded a csv file with about 10 fields into PigStorage and tried to do a GROUP BY on one of the fields. The MapReduce job gets created, and the Mappers finish execution.
But after that, the job fails with the following error messages: 2010-12-13 10:31:08,902 [main] INFO org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.executionengine.mapReduceLayer.MapReduceLauncher - 100% complete 2010-12-13 10:31:08,902 [main] ERROR org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.executionengine.mapReduceLayer.MapReduceLauncher - 1 map reduce job(s) failed! 2010-12-13 10:31:08,911 [main] ERROR org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.executionengine.mapReduceLayer.MapReduceLauncher - Failed to produce result in: "hdfs://hadoop.namenode:54310/tmp/temp2041073534/tmp-2060206542" 2010-12-13 10:31:08,911 [main] INFO org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.executionengine.mapReduceLayer.MapReduceLauncher - Failed! 2010-12-13 10:31:08,961 [main] ERROR org.apache.pig.tools.grunt.Grunt - ERROR 6015: During execution, encountered a Hadoop error. 2010-12-13 10:31:08,961 [main] ERROR org.apache.pig.tools.grunt.Grunt - org.apache.pig.impl.logicalLayer.FrontendException: ERROR 1066: Unable to open iterator for alias grouped_records at org.apache.pig.PigServer.openIterator(PigServer.java:521) at org.apache.pig.tools.grunt.GruntParser.processDump(GruntParser.java:544) at org.apache.pig.tools.pigscript.parser.PigScriptParser.parse(PigScriptParser.java:241) at org.apache.pig.tools.grunt.GruntParser.parseStopOnError(GruntParser.java:162) at org.apache.pig.tools.grunt.GruntParser.parseStopOnError(GruntParser.java:138) at org.apache.pig.tools.grunt.Grunt.run(Grunt.java:75) at org.apache.pig.Main.main(Main.java:357) Caused by: org.apache.pig.backend.executionengine.ExecException: ERROR 6015: During execution, encountered a Hadoop error. at .util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap.get(ConcurrentHashMap.java:768) at .apache.hadoop.mapred.ReduceTask(ReduceCopier$GetMapEventsThread.getMapCompletionEvents(ReduceTask.java:2683) Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException ... 2 more The filter statements (Mapper only) work properly, so it's not that nothing is running.
