Hi.   I had the same problem. It turns out that they have a bug in the VM, misconfigured oozie service.   What I did is: 1. Open CDH VM in VMWare Player / Workstation 2. Open system console - appears on top desktop's toolbar 3. Write the following lines: 3.1. sudo service oozie stop 3.2. sudo oozie-setup sharelib create -fs /user/oozie/share/lib/mr1 -locallib /usr/lib/oozie/oozie-sharelib-mr1.tar.gz  3.3. sudo service oozie start   Then try running Pig script again. Worked for me.   What this does is reinstalling share/lib required libraries. See details here: http://www.cloudera.com/content/cloudera-content/cloudera-docs/CDH5/latest/CDH5-Installation-Guide/cdh5ig_oozie_configure.html   Hope it helps you too.   David. ... View more
