@Matthew bird You need a home directory for the user in HDFS so here is what is needed -

#Login as root to the sandbox
su - hdfs 
hdfs dfs -mkdir /user/root
hdfs dfs -chown root:hadoop /user/root
hdfs dfs -chmod 755 /user/root

Try to run the pig script after you've done the above steps.

definitely progress. Now it is looping: http://pastebin.com/bqgSDYdb I am not sure if this is still about permissions or not.

Check if the services are up, looks like your Job History Server may be down.

I got it working with a fresh instance of HDP_2.3.2_virtualbox.

I set root:hadoop as owner of /user/root and did the same for /user/guest and that did the trick. Thanks everyone.

I see 'Connection Refused' which means either a service is down or connection to wrong port. Like Deepesh said, appears to be former and that History server is down.

I am still facing this issue. Matthew Bird - can you help me? How did you get fresh instance?
