Above is the pig installation error I got. Any fix?

It is mostly caused due to the ‘Guava jar issue’.

1. Check ‘Guava’ jar version in Hadoop and Pig.

   ls $PIG_HOME/lib
   ls $HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/hdfs/lib

2. Delete Guava jar in Pig

   rm $PIG_HOME/lib/guava-19.0.jar

3. Copy Guava jar from Hadoop to Pig

   cp $HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/hdfs/lib/guava-27.0-jre.jar $PIG_HOME/lib/

For more info follow this doc, but replace ‘hive’ with ‘pig’ everywhere http://cis.csuohio.edu/~sschung/cis612/CIS612_Lab4_2_Hive_CommonInstallationProblems.pdf
