Pig and Hadoop connection error

Question

I am getting ConnectionRefused error when I am running pig in mapreduce mode.

Details:
I have installed Pig from tarball( pig-0.14), and exported the classpath in bashrc.
I have all the Hadoop (hadoop-2.5) daemons up and running (confirmed by JPS).

[root@localhost sbin]# jps
2272 Jps
2130 DataNode
2022 NameNode
2073 SecondaryNameNode
2238 NodeManager
2190 ResourceManager

I am running pig in mapreduce mode:

[root@localhost sbin]# pig
grunt> file = LOAD '/input/pig_input.csv' USING PigStorage(',') AS (col1,col2,col3);
grunt> dump file;  

And then I am getting the error:

java.io.IOException: java.net.ConnectException: Call From localhost.localdomain/127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0:10020 failed on connection exception: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused; For more details see:  http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/ConnectionRefused

I haven't configured any config file in pig tarball.Do I need to make any changes in the pig configuration to make it identify the hadoop installation? In bashrc the HADOOP_HOME is set properly.
Please help.

Answer 1

To start it,go to hadoop's sbin dir and then type the command

mr-jobhistory-server.sh start historyserver --config $HADOOP_CONF_DIR

$HADOOP_CONF_DIR is the directory where hadoop's config files like hdfs-site.xml etc. reside.

Answer 2

Found the solution.
The line:

Caused by: java.net.ConnectException: Call From localhost.localdomain/127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0:10020 failed on connection exception: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused; For more details see:  http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/ConnectionRefused

comes when JobHistoryServer is not up.
So starting the JobHistoryServer would eliminate this issue.
To start it, go to hadoop's sbin dir and then the command:

mr-jobhistory-server.sh start

Do a jps to check if JobHistoryServer is up, and then re-execute your Pig commands.
