How to access HDFS on remote machine using Pig?

There is Hadoop installed on a remote machine (example.host.com) . Pig is also installed on that machine.

How to access the hdfs on that machine from other machine?

I do not want to copy the files from remote. I just want to run queries on those files that are stored in avro format having schema as well.

I installed Pig on my local machine and added the following lines to pig.properties file

fs.default.name=hdfs://example.host.com:8020
mapred.job.tracker=example.host.com:8021

But when I start pig it gives the following error

2013-02-15 12:35:26,534 [main] INFO  org.apache.pig.Main - Apache Pig version 0.10.1-SNAPSHOT (rexported) compiled Feb 14 2013, 17:55:12

As you can see that the exception your getting is a version mismatch. Are you sure that XXX has $HADOOP_HOME init's classpath? It really looks like it's pointing to the wrong jars.

Extract the Hadoop tar file on the local machine and then point the configuration files to the NameNode in the cluster and then use the hadoop fs -get command to get the the files from the remote machine to the local machine.
