I can start a grunt shell just fine: -bash-3.2$ pwd /home/rfcompton/Downloads/pig-0.11.0-src -bash-3.2$ ./bin/pig 2013-03-21 12:55:00,048 [main] INFO org.apache.pig.Main - Apache Pig version 0.11.1-SNAPSHOT (rexported) compiled Mar 21 2013, 12:49:21 2013-03-21 12:55:00,049 [main] INFO org.apache.pig.Main - Logging error messages to: /home/rfcompton/Downloads/pig-0.11.0-src/pig_1363895700046.log 2013-03-21 12:55:00,076 [main] INFO org.apache.pig.impl.util.Utils - Default bootup file /home/rfcompton/.pigbootup not found 2013-03-21 12:55:00,330 [main] INFO org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.executionengine.HExecutionEngine - Connecting to hadoop file system at: hdfs://master:8020/ 2013-03-21 12:55:00,581 [main] INFO org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.executionengine.HExecutionEngine - Connecting to map-reduce job tracker at: node4:8021 grunt>
But I can't run a java program: -bash-3.2$ java -cp target/mybigjar-1.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar:$HADOOP_CONF_DIR:/home/rfcompton/Downloads/pig-0.11.0-src/pig.jar org.apache.pig.Main 2013-03-21 12:55:58,806 [main] INFO org.apache.pig.Main - Apache Pig version 0.11.1-SNAPSHOT (rexported) compiled Mar 21 2013, 12:49:21 2013-03-21 12:55:58,806 [main] INFO org.apache.pig.Main - Logging error messages to: /home/rfcompton/pig_1363895758801.log 2013-03-21 12:55:58,829 [main] INFO org.apache.pig.impl.util.Utils - Default bootup file /home/rfcompton/.pigbootup not found 2013-03-21 12:55:59,086 [main] INFO org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.executionengine.HExecutionEngine - Connecting to hadoop file system at: hdfs://master:8020/ 2013-03-21 12:56:03,844 [main] ERROR org.apache.pig.Main - ERROR 2999: Unexpected internal error.
