Pig Grunt shell

Question

If I want to execute pig script from grunt shell what all do I need to have? I have copied the .pig file and source file into the hdfs. what else do I need to copy? Can you please share the execution command or statement along with step by step process how to execute the pig script in grunt shell?

Answer 1

Actually, you don't need to keep the script.pig file in HDFS, the script file will be in local only.

You will need to use the exec command or run command for executing the script file in the Grunt shell. Below is the command that you can use.

1. exec <location of the file in local>/script.pig

2. run <location of the file in local>/script.pig
