Dear, I created the simple pig script that reads two avro files, merges the two relations and stores it into the output avro file.
I tried to store output relation into avro file using: store outputSet into 'avrostorage' using AvroStorage(); Some workaround was required because pig has problems to process schema with :: (maybe another bug?) Added code below the result 'avrostorage' file was generated. outputSet = foreach outputSet generate $0 as (name:chararray) , $1 as (customerId:chararray), $2 as (VIN:chararray) , $3 as (Birthdate:chararray), $4 as (Mileage:chararray) ,$5 as (Fuel_Consumption:chararray); When I tried to store avro file with the schema definition using code below, strange error is occurring https://bpaste.net/show/ccf0cbef06a9 (Full log). ... 10.0.1.47:8050 2016-01-29 17:24:39,600 [main] ERROR org.apache.pig.tools.pigstats.mapreduce.MRPigStatsUtil - 1 map reduce job(s) failed! ... STORE outputSet INTO '/avro-dest/Test-20160129-1401822' USING org.apache.pig.piggybank.storage.avro.AvroStorage('no_schema_check', 'schema', '....') Sample data and pig script: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6RZ_9vVuTEcd01aWm9zczNUUWc/view I think these might be two important issues, could you please investigate?
