I'm getting an exception from a Pig script and haven't been able to nail down the cause. I'm fairly new to Pig & have searched for various topics based on the exception I'm getting but haven't been able to find anything meaningful. From the grunt shell & log I've looked for different variations of these - unable to read pigs manifest file java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException: -1 ERROR 1066: Unable to open iterator for alias F. Backend error : -1

I'm using Hadoop version 2.0.0-cdh4.6.0 & Pig version 0.11.0, running from the Grunt shell.

My Pig script reads a file, does some manipulation on the data (including calling a Java UDF), joins to an HBase table, then DUMPs the output. Pretty simple. I can DUMP the intermediate result (alias B) and the data looks fine.

I've tested the Java function from Pig using the same input file and have seen it return values as I'd expect, and I've tested the function locally outside the Pig script. The Java function is provided a number of days from 01-01-1900 & uses joda-time v2.7 to return a Datetime. Initially, the UDF was accepting a tuple as input. I've tried changing the UDF input format to Byte and most recently String and casting to Datetime in Pig upon returning, but am still getting the same error.

When I change my Pig script merely to not call the UDF it works fine. The NegativeArray error sounds like the data is out of whack for the Dump, possibly from some kind of format issue, but I don't see how.

Pig script

as (id:bytearray, year:int, doy:int, month:int, dayOfMonth:int,  
 awh_minTemp:double, awh_maxTemp:double,

   latitude:double, longitude:double);  

F = join B by gridid, E by wxgrid;  

DUMP F;  --- This is where I get the exception  

Here's an excerpt from what's returned in the Grunt shell -

  • id attribute signifies the no of days since 1-1-1970 or 1-1-1900 ? – Murali Rao Jun 17 '15 at 06:26
  • > I asked the same thing when I started looking at this data. It's based off 1-1-1900. – ericbless Jun 17 '15 at 15:45
  • Could you change your script to something more trivial untill it works? Either by changing the script, or by changing the UDF. That should allow you to pinpoint the source of the problem. -- For people who found this post when looking for [ERROR 1066: Unable to open iterator for alias](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34495085/error-1066-unable-to-open-iterator-for-alias-in-pig-generic-solution) here is a [generic solution](http://stackoverflow.com/a/34495086/983722). – Dennis Jaheruddin Dec 28 '15 at 15:12
