I tried running the command:

pig -x tez -useHCatalog Pigscript but there result is the same. It's saying :

@Prakash Punj

pig -useHCatalog -x tez -f p.pig --> this works

@Prakash Punj make sure you have the adapter in the node

[root@phdns01 ~]# find / -name hive-hcatalog-pig-adapter*.jar

/usr/hdp/2.3.4.0-3485/hive-hcatalog/share/hcatalog/hive-hcatalog-pig-adapter.jar

@Prakash Punj See my latest reply...You are giving HDFS location for your pig script...it needs to be local file system
