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:

The filter statements (Mapper only) work properly, so it's not that nothing is 
running.

What's the issue here?
