Benjamin Francisoud commented on PIG-121:
-----------------------------------------

This seems to be the same problem as PIG-93: the first stacktrace in my [first comment|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-93?focusedCommentId=12565794#action_12565794]

duplicate ?

> Setting the cluster cause a NPE exception in PigContext in line 214.
> $ java -cp pig.jar org.apache.pig.Main -x mapreduce -c localhost
> Changing MR cluster to localhost
> 08/02/24 20:08:44 ERROR pig.Main: java.lang.NullPointerException
> Main line 109 calls   
> pigContext.setJobtrackerLocation(cluster);
> In line 214 in PigContext executionEngine.updateConfiguration(trackerLocation) is called. However executionEngine is still null, since connect is not called first. 
> I guess so far people did set cluster and name node as system properties or it was set by the perl script instead of using the -c parameter. 
> Within the HExecutionEngine#init the system property was used to connect to the hadoop cluster. 
> Looks like HExecutionEngine, PigContext and PigServer need some refactoring to clean up those things. 
> I'm happy to offer help here, but I'm not sure if we have enough patch credibility yet. :-)
