i need to load file in pig which has a long and complicated name:
dealnews-2011-04-01T12:00:00:00.211-02:00.csv
Pig complained:
ERROR org.apache.pig.tools.grunt.Grunt - ERROR 2999: Unexpected internal error. java.net.URISyntaxException: Relative path in absolute URI:
anyone knows what’s the problem? Thanks.
If it’s forming a URI from that, the : is a reserved character.
Think about it: file://a:b … this would be taken as an FTP login.
Your error message seems to complain that what’s left after the string is parsed is a relative path (I guess 00.csv after the last colon). Obviously no longer the whole filename.
You will need to escape any reserved characters in the filename before forming a URI.
You could do this on the command line, with for example:
ls | sed -e ‘s/:/%3A/g’
to transform the colons in the filename.
Or you could rename any files in the directory that use any of “;?:@&=+,$”
