System Configuration

Thrift version 0.9.1

Apache Maven 3.0.5 (r01de14724cdef164cd33c7c8c2fe155faf9602da; 2013-02-19 19:21:28+0530)
Maven home: /usr/lib/mvn/apache-maven-3.0.5
Java version: 1.7.0_25, vendor: Oracle Corporation
Java home: /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre
Default locale: en_IN, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "linux", version: "3.5.0-43-generic", arch: "amd64", family: "unix"

Hadoop 2.2.0.2.0.6.0-76

Answer 1

Changed Thrift from 0.9.1 to 0.7.0 by downloading from http://archive.apache.org/dist/thrift/0.7.0/thrift-0.7.0.tar.gz. Extract and go into the extracted folder. Then typed following commands :

• chmod +x ./configure
• ./configure
• make
• sudo make install

Check thrift version by typing thrift -version. This should return "Thrift version 0.7.0"

Then go to elephant-bird folder and type "mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true package"

Note : skip test is used as some tests were failing. Skip test options solved the issue.

EDIT : Pig was throwing error while compiling load statement for JsonLoader as json-simple-1.1.1.jar was not found. Google for the jar, you can find it easily. ( Cannot post link due to less than 10 reputation)

and there was an error thrown while launching pig job regarding hadoop-compat. Download http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/twitter/elephantbird/elephant-bird-hadoop-compat/4.4/elephant-bird-hadoop-compat-4.4.jar (Also found in < elephant-bird-folder-path >/hadoop-compat/target/elephant-bird-hadoop-compat-4.4-SNAPSHOT.jar

)

register 4 Jars to use Elephant-Bird plugin in Pig.
