Has anyone encountered this problem? Maybe a known issue or common mistake?
 
I'm executing a Pig script that uses hbase storage.  It's a 3-node cluster 
(0.94.7) and I'm executing the script from the same machine running the HBase 
master.  The M/R job hangs in preparation state (4).  A dump of the solitary 
map process reveals that it is hanging indefinitely here:

There are no compactions running.  There are no other M/R jobs running.  HBase 
shell is functioning from that node.  The destination table is new, empty, and 
plain-jane.
 
The worst part is that the task tracker isn't smart enough to kill the process 
after I kill the M/R job and I have to chase the task around the nodes: kill, 
kill, kill, ...
