hi Karuna,

Please share the complete pig latin code that you are trying to execute. whatever that you are doing before "Dump X" is not available in the info that you shared.

I think I have a bigger problem: something to do with permission ... I cannot cat the file... I see the content from the browser though ...

[cloudera@localhost ~]$ hadoop fs -cat /user/cloudera/input/symbol/nyse_symbol.txt
cat: Permission denied: user=cloudera, access=EXECUTE, inode="/user/cloudera/input/symbol":cloudera:cloudera:-rw-r--r--
[cloudera@localhost ~]$

------

[cloudera@localhost ~]$ hadoop fs -chmod 777 /user/cloudera/input/symbol/nyse_symbol.txt
chmod: Permission denied: user=cloudera, access=EXECUTE, inode="/user/cloudera/input/symbol":cloudera:cloudera:-rw-r--r--
[cloudera@localhost ~]$

The problem I am facing is because of permission issue... Would you please guide me as to how can I fix this issue ... /user/cloudera/input works well , I mean if the file is in this folder pig works well ...but if I put the file in /user/cloudera/input/symbol I have issues :) ...

Would you please guide me on how to set the CHMOD for symbol folder ... Seems like a strange issue .... Thanks a bunch
