Hi Petr, I am thinking that this issue is related to class path. You need to have the HCatalog, hive jars in your PIG_CLASSPATH env variable.
>From a previous post in the user list, the following this are required in the >class path. Minimum set- /share/hcatalog/hcatalog*.jar: /share/hcatalog/lib/hive-metastore*.jar: /share/hcatalog/lib/thrift-fb303-*.jar: /share/hcatalog/lib/libthrift*.jar: /share/hcatalog/lib/hive-exec-*.jar +HCatalog configuration (hive-site et al)… Thanks Vandana On Aug 23, 2012, at 12:49 PM, Petr Babkin wrote: I am getting the following error when trying to load the table from HCatalog into pig: ERROR org.apache.pig.tools.grunt.Grunt - ERROR 1070: Could not resolve org.apache.hcatalog.pig.HCatLoader using imports: [, org.apache.pig.builtin., org.apache.pig.impl.builtin.] This is all running on HDP, so I am surprised why the resolution fails.
