I have created a folder to drop the result file from a Pig process using the Store command. It works the first time, but the second time it compains that the folder already exists. What is the best practice for this situiation? Documentation is sparse on this topic.
My next step will be to rename the folder to the original file name, to reduce the impact of this. Any thoughts?
You can execute fs commands from within Pig, and should be able to delete the directory by issuing a fs -rmr command before running the STORE command:
The only subtly is the fs command doesn’t expect quotes around the directory name, whereas the store command does expect quotes around the directory name.
