Hi,
You need to specify a hadoop-site.xml when running tests: ant -Djunit.*hadoop.conf*=hadoop-site.xml test see: http://wiki.apache.org/pig/HowToContribute
I suggest we work on having locally running unit tests as well as integration tests. I think it should be as easy as possible for new developers to start contributing patches and be able to test those patches. Not everybody has the luxury of a free available test grid.
