ERROR 2999 Unexpected internal error Failed to create DataStorage

Question

Hi Guys,

I installed PIG in my system and also set all the environment variable in .bashrc file. But I am getting this below error whenever I tried to run pig command to get the grunt shell. 

ERROR 2999: Unexpected internal error. Failed to create DataStorage

Answer 1

Hi@akhtar,

I think you didn't set all the environment variable properly. So, first check in apache web site to make sure your Hadoop and Pig versions are compatible.

Then, make sure the following two environment variables are set correctly in .bashrc file and configuration file.

export PIG_CLASSPATH=/hadoop-2.6/etc/hadoop
export HADOOP_HOME=/hadoop-2.6

Hope this will solve your error.
