I haven't seen the pig.sh script, but I believe passing it on the java cmdline which launches pig (java -Dmapred.task.timeout=0 <rest of cmdline for pig>) should have the effect of passing the property to the JobConf for all hadoop jobs launched by the pig script.

I am not confident that it will necessarily have an effect on the hadoop jobs, since iirc that requires Pig to explicitly pass the opts on to hadoop. -D On Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 7:25 AM, prasenjit mukherjee <[email protected]> wrote: > I am using pig-0.3.1.
