Hey guys,

I´m trying to run a simple script through VM, but I´m getting the following error. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks.

Pig commands:

grunt> load_data = load 'user/root/pig_demo.txt'; 
grunt> dump load_data

Pig Log errors:

@Junior

The Path seems to be incorrect isn't it?

'user/root/pig_demo.txt'
OR
'/user/root/pig_demo.txt'
