ERROR 1115: Unsupported type: 5 in Pig's schema

Hi All!  I created an hbase table and hcatalog table like the following:


hive> describe formatted client;
OK
# col_name                        data_type                           comment

a                              string                     from deserializer
b                             string                     from deserializer
c                              int                           from deserializer
d                             string                     from deserializer
e                             string                     from deserializer
f                              string                     from deserializer
g                              string                     from deserializer
h                             string                     from deserializer
i                               string                     from deserializer
j                               double                  from deserializer
k                              int                           from deserializer
l                               double                  from deserializer
m                            double                  from deserializer
n                             boolean               from deserializer

I am trying to store data into the hbase table via Pig, but I am getting the 
following error:

clientData = LOAD 'hdfs:///user/Data/cleint.csv' USING PigStorage(',') as (
a:chararray, b:chararray, c:int, d:chararray, e:chararray, f:chararray, 
g:chararray,
h:chararray, i:chararray, j:double, k:int, l:double, m:double, n:boolean);

STORE clientData INTO 'client' USING org.apache.hcatalog.pig.HCatStorer();

Does anyone understand what the problem could be?
