PigUnit with Hadoop 2.x

Question

I'm trying to use PigUnit with Hadoop 2.4.1. I have a very simple Pig script that I want to execute inside a PigTest, but when I run this test I get the following Exception:

In Hadoop 2.4.1, org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.JobContext is an interface, not a class, so it seems to me like PigUnit is somehow expecting an older version of Hadoop? If this is indeed the case, how do I point PigUnit to more recent Hadoop jars?

Answer 1

It turns out that I was using the wrong verison of Pig. Pig has multiple artifacts on Maven, and I needed to provide a classifier in my build.gradle in order to specify the Pig jar that works against Hadoop 2.x:

compile "org.apache.pig:pig:${pigVersion}:h2"

This post helped me solve my Gradle/dependency issue.
