Hi Mona,

Thanks for the input. Some more info below.

If I look at my workflow in the Oozie web ui it still looks a bit odd. Looking 
at the task for the Pig node I see

Status: ERROR
Error code: JA018
Error message: Main class [org.apache.oozie.action.hadoop.PigMain], exit code 
[2]
External id: <job id>
External Status: FAILED/KILLED
Clicking on the child job link gives "n/a" as the child job.
The <job id> listed above shows as successful in the MapReduce logs though.  Am 
I driving the interface wrong? :)

I looked at that example -- thanks for the pointer -- and on first cut it seems 
to be showing the same behaviour. I simplified it a bit to remove the 
coordinator job and just run the script directly --  modifying job.properties 
to have all the right variables and the same result as above.

Re hive-site.xml I tried setting permission explicitly but no affect. Plus as 
mentioned I can get a Hive action to work so in other contexts the file appears 
to be read correctly.

I did also notice the readme for the example mentions HCatalog 0.4.1; that is a 
quite old version. It's obviously hard to compare directly since HCatalog 
versions are now aligned with Hive but 0.5 came out in 2013 and the version I'm 
running with is 0.12. This is using CDH5. Has HCatalog support been seen to 
work since the 0.4.1 release?

Any other thoughts?

Thanks
Garry

Subject: Re: Using HCat within a Pig action

Hello Garry,

Oozie first launches a ³launcher² job which then launches the actual Pig/Hive 
job. The ŒSUCCEEDED¹ job that you see on Yarn is this launcher job, which 
succeeded in its job of launching the actual pig job, but actual pig job 
failed. Oozie console will show child jobs under tab ŒChild Jobs¹ pointing to 
the child jobs that the launcher spawned, so you can go there directly.

What is your error exactly? If it says Œhive-site.xml Permission Denied¹, I¹ve 
encountered that error before and for some reason it was because the 
hive-site.xml unix permissions were changed from 600 (rw-r--r--). This is the 
hive-site.xml that you are including in your oozie workflow application 
directory. I don¹t know the root cause of it yet but if you keep the 
permissions as 600 it should work.

If it¹s not the above error, could you elaborate on it, and copy the stack 
trace here?

Hive updated versions have indeed changed the package hierarchy for HCatLoader 
and HCatStorer so the changes you made here are correct.

You will find an example (examples/apps/hcatalog) in the examples folder in 
Oozie and includes a README. I have created JIRA
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-1881) to append the above info as 
an FAQ to the HCatalog integration doc as well as a walkthrough of this 
Pig+HCat example.

Regards,
