PIG Store Command not working in local mode

avatar
Expert Contributor

Hi All,

I'm doing a normal load to a relation and storing the result on local i.e My Desktop .but running the below command throws me some error 6000.While running the same thing on mapreduce stores the results properly to the HDFS path.Is it that we cannot store anything to local and just read operations are possible in it.??

    STORE Relation_name INTO '/home/vaibhav/Desktop'

@Artem Ervits @Arun A K

Thank you so much for giving your time to solve the problem!!! Kudos

The problem got solved ,actually i was not having 777 Permissions on whatever was there on desktop ,so i followed the following steps:

$sudo chmod -R 777 /home/vaibhav/Desktop Then format namenode ( Only if this does not harm you anyway) and re-start your daemons and followed the same steps to store the data and the directory got created on dektop.

Can you do ls command on the output directory in Grunt shell? I wonder if Desktop with upper case exists.

fs -ls

@Artem Ervits

Yes the path is correct . I can see in the logs that it is not even able to read the records from the files While using Store operation in localmode

Please paste sample dataset and script I'll test

'media/vaibhav'

That does not look right

@Artem Ervits

i added the dataset in attachment.

PFB the script i have used:

CASE1 = LOAD '/home/vaibhav/Desktop/mydata.csv' USING PigStorage(',') as (cmte_id:chararray,cand_id:chararray)

STORE CASE1 INTO 'media/vaibhav' USING PigStorage(',')

Hi @Vaibhav Kumar, could you please try the file:/// prefix in pig -x local mode.

STORE Relation_name INTO 'file:///home/vaibhav/Desktop/Output' using PigStorage(',')

here's my result

my home directory looks like so

enter Pig Tez local mode using

pig -x tez_local

you will get the grunt shell

now start entering your script

grunt> CASE1 = load 'mydata.csv' using PigStorage(',');
grunt> store CASE1 into 'outputdir' using PigStorage(',');

the result of that is

Input(s):
Successfully read 10 records from: "file:///root/mydata.csv"
Output(s):
Successfully stored 10 records in: "file:///root/outputdir"

now I can list the directory from grunt shell

grunt> fs -ls

notice the outputdir and mydata.csv are both listed, this is inside your home directory, let's do ls on the outputdir

grunt> fs -ls outputdir
Found 2 items
-rw-r--r--   1 root root          0 2016-08-22 14:10 outputdir/_SUCCESS
-rw-r--r--   1 root root        196 2016-08-22 14:10 outputdir/part-v000-o000-r-00000

let's look inside the result file

grunt> fs -cat outputdir/part-v000-o000-r-00000
cmte_id,cand_id
C00458844,P60006723
C00458844,P60006723

C00458846,P60006723
C00458856,P60006723
C00458852,P60006723

and for the sake of it let's cat the input file

grunt> fs -cat mydata.csv
cmte_id,cand_id
C00458844,P60006723
C00458844,P60006723

@Artem Ervits, guess its a problem with the relative vs absolute path. My observation is that in local mode, all store commands targeted towards the present working directory works fine, but for absolute paths, it requires file:/// prefix.
