Forwarding my reply with the solution to the problem to the list The key was that I was testing with Pig's local execution mode so needed to use the PIG_CLASSPATH environment variable instead Rob From: Rob Vesse <rvesse@yarcdata.com<mailto:rvesse@yarcdata.com>> Date: Monday, 20 January 2014 16:04 To: "Datta, Kushal" <kushal.datta@intel.com<mailto:kushal.datta@intel.com>> Subject: Re: [GraphBuilder] ClassNotFound error trying to run rdf_example.pig As I already said in my email I had done this. I've tried putting the GraphBuilder JAR in both the HADOOP_CLASSPATH and the CLASSPATH and neither one makes any difference. The key thing here appears to be that I am using Pig's local execution mode which means neither of the above are honoured, changing to use PIG_CLASSPATH resolves this problem Rob From: <Datta>, Kushal <kushal.datta@intel.com<mailto:kushal.datta@intel.com>> Date: Monday, 20 January 2014 13:53 To: GraphBuilder Users List <graphbuilder@lists.01.org<mailto:graphbuilder@lists.01.org>> Subject: Re: [GraphBuilder] ClassNotFound error trying to run rdf_example.pig Hi Rob, Please extend HADOOP_CLASSPATH with the path to the graphbuilder jar before you use the library. $ export HADOOP_CLASSPATH=$HADOOP_CLASSPATH:/path_to_your_graphbuilder_jar Thanks, -Kushal.
