RiverCity,

  I moved this into the Pig board to see if maybe some of our pig experts might be able to answer your question.

Thanks for following. I made progress from support at GitHub/packetpig. This VM uses cdh 4.3 and pig0.11. They reported that the posted packetpig lib is based on cdh 3.4 (pig 0.8) . I searched this site for earlier chd components and used that pig with more success. Now my question is

1) given I use  pig 0.8 in this vm, can I still use this with hdfs and map reduce in this vm. I set the pig.jar soft link to the new pig-0.8.xxx.jar but the shell cripts that set the CLASSPATH and PATH are complex and need some examples to test . I can run the examples if I use the %java -jar pig.jar .......but want to try hdfs using this vm (cdh 4.3)

2) do you have a vm from the earliar build?

We do not supply a quickstart VM anymore with CDH3 on it as that version is EOM.  Also, I am not sure what results you might get trying to run that version of pig with CDH 4.3 as this combination has never been tested.  There will be potential for incompatibilities there for sure.
