This is the same problem I was getting, I've put a snippit of the code I as was using here :- https://gist.github.com/804551
With this I get null whenever I try to read the ResourceSchema object in the checkSchema() method. I've had a look over the AvroStorage and it seems to assume the ResourceSchema won't be null at this point in time so I'm not sure what's going on for me. Does anyone know if this is the best way to get the schema, or if pig will ever send a null schema to the checkSchema method?
