Ch06: sent_distributions.pig issues/errors - ERROR 2244: Job failed, hadoop does not return any error message

[JamesGetexp]

Hello,

I am doing the exercise on Ch06. Try to run the sent_distributions.pig in local mode (some of the error outputs are pasted below). The /tmp/sent_distributions.avro was never created nor pushed to mongodb. Anyone has any ideas or suggestions?

thanks,
James
