Hi, I am using cduh3 distributionin the hadoop cluster . My python udf seems to work fine if it does not import other python modules, but fails with ERROR org.apache.pig.tools.grunt.Grunt - ERROR 2997: Unable to recreate exception from backed error: java.io.IOException: Deserialization error: could not instantiate 'org.apache.pig.scripting.jython.JythonFunction' with arguments if I add "import re" in the UDF.
When I digged around i found that it has been fixed in pig0.10. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1824 But, CDUH3 has pig 0.8. Has anyody encountered this problem? Is there a work around for this in Pig 0.8 or is it possible to update to pig 0.10 in CDUH3? Thanks, Devi
