How to resolve the following apache pig error?

Question

I am executing the following commands:

A= load 'user/cloudera' using PigStorage(':');
foreach A generate $0,$4,$5;
dump B;

On executing the last command I get the following error which I am unable to resolve.Being a newbie to bigdata and apache hadoop stack,I am unable to comprehend this error.Please help ASAP.Also searching on StackOverflow for similar errors did not help:

Answer 1

Please check where are you running pig statements in local/linux mode or mapreduce mode , if you are running local mode you cant read HDFS file

run this cmd $ pig -x mapreduce

after this Grunt> A = load '/; Grunt>Dump/store /

Answer 2

I had a similar issue and I was able to fix by deleting the passwd file from the target folder and then copying it again using the correct relative path:

A= load '/user/cloudera' using PigStorage(':');

The instruction in the video is missing the '/' before the user

• Step 1:

  hdfs dfs -rm /user/cloudera/passwd
  

• Step 2:

  A= load '/user/cloudera' using PigStorage(':');
  

Then followed the instructions from the Coursera video.

Answer 3

Input(s):

Failed to read data from 

"hdfs://quickstart.cloudera:8020/user/cloudera/user/cloudera"

Output(s):

Failed to produce result in "hdfs://quickstart.cloudera:8020/tmp/temp-193566860/tmp-1023933528"

Total records proactively spilled: 0

If you look at the above error code (copied from question that was posted), input file path is taken by pig as below

'hdfs://quickstart.cloudera:8020/user/cloudera/user/cloudera'

So when running pig in mapreduce mode and using quickstart VM, you have use

'hdfs://quickstart.cloudera:8020' before your input file path....

Is the input a folder?...if so pig script will read all the files in the folder....

Example:

say your input file path which is located in hdfs is '/usr/cloudera/inputdata.txt' then your query has to be

A= load 'hdfs://quickstart.cloudera:8020/user/cloudera/inputdata.txt' using PigStorage(':');

foreach A generate $0,$4,$5;

dump B;

Answer 4

The only thing that u have to check is the file path.

1. hdfs dfs -ls / check how the path structure comes. like ..../input/data/file. file u are going to use.
2. A = load '/input/data/file';
3. dump A;

only thing is the proper path of your file that u want to load.

Answer 5

Solution:

Change line 1 of your code to:

A= load '/user/cloudera' using PigStorage(':');

Having said that, are you sure your input data is in your home area? That seems unlikely. It's more likely to be in a folder within your home area, i.e. /user/cloudera/input-data.

Before running your job do:

hdfs dfs -ls /user/cloudera

to confirm that input data is actually in that folder. If it's not, work out where it actually is, and make sure it is on the HDFS and not locally.

Explanation:

The relevant part of the logs is

ERROR 2118: Input path does not exist: hdfs://quickstart.cloudera:8020/user/cloudera/user/cloudera

This suggests it's related to the input path. The part of your code that deals with the input path is

A= load 'user/cloudera' using PigStorage(':');

By not adding a forward slash to /user then it assumes that everything is relative to your home area, so for example writing load 'input' would lead the Pig job to read in hdfs://quickstart.cloudera:8028/user/cloudera/input. In your case then the missing slash means it adds it to your user area.
