Confusing error message when pig is running in mapreduce mode, but the conf
does not specify a hdfs server
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: PIG-1898
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1898
Project: Pig
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.8.0
Environment: pig-0.8.0, windows xp, no hadoop cluster
Reporter: Alexander Lehmann
Priority: Minor
When running a pig script in mapreduce mode without accessing a cluster, the
last operation fails with a confusing error message, I assume that the path
constructed would be accessible on a hdfs filesystem, but it doesn't make sense
in the local filesystem. It would be better to give a error message or a
warning at the start of the script that this may fail due to the missing hdfs
reference.
java.lang.RuntimeException:
org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.input.InvalidInputException: Input path does
not exist: file:/user/alex/pigsample_7169802_1299889140078
(/user/alex/ would be a valid home directory on a hdfs filesystem, but in the
local filesystem, its wrong).
