AvroStorage with mapreduce and java.lang.RuntimeException: could not instantiate

[#1 · Accepted solution]

fyi https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-4793

org.apache.pig.piggybank.storage.avro.AvroStorage is Deprecated, use AvroStorage('schema', '-d')

This works.

@John Smith really great job, I was not aware of 2nd AvroStorage package. @Predrag Minovic @Benjamin Leonhardi you might find this of use?
