i tried this command also

ant clean jar -Dhadoopversion=23'

Is it a version mismatch problem?

I am using Hadoop 2.0.0-cdh4.5.0 and pig-0.12.0-src

please help

Answer 1

Yes, it is a compatibility issue.

• in Hadoop 1.x: JobContext is a class
• in Hadoop 2.x: JobContext is an interface

You can see that Hadoop 2 is not listed as compatible with Pig 0.12:

Requirements
Mandatory

Unix and Windows users need the following:

Hadoop 0.20.2, 020.203, 020.204, 0.20.205, 1.0.0, 1.0.1, or 0.23.0, 0.23.1
