1. Try to register the hbase jar in your pig file. for eg . register /home/hadoop/lib/hbase-0.92.0.jar
2. Make sure that you created hbase table with column family before inserting the data.
3. Also mention version of hadoop,pig and hbase.

4. Also you can check your debug logs with web interface . if you are running cluster locally use localhost/jobtracker.jsp

   This will give you the more useful log information about job.
