Hi, I am stuck. In my UDF (Java) extends EvalFunc the following code throws and NPE in exec(), when executed in -x mapred mode:
Configuration jobConf = UDFContext.getUDFContext().getJobConf(); System.err.println(jobConf.toString()); I did not find any useful information as why my JobConf is always null. All I find is that this is the right way to get the JobConf in a UDF and that the behavior of what is returned when running locally (jira issue). Any ideas? I am running it on a very old Hadoop version 0.20.2 Are there some known issues? I use Pig 0.11.1 Many thanks in advanced PS: Just found someone with the same issue http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18795008/accessing-hdfs-from-pig-udf
