How to use pig in Visual Studio with Azure Hdinsight

I created my HDInsight on Azure and connected with cloud explorer on VS2017.

I want to make a word counter using Hdinsight pig.

I created my pig project but when I start my script.pig I get an error: 

Could not copy the file "obj\Debug\Pig" because it was not found.
Solution

  • You can use Data Lake Tools for Visual Studio supports creating and submit Pig scripts to HDInsight clusters. Users can create a Pig project from template, and then submit the script to HDInsight clusters.

    After creating a script, if you click on the start button, you will get this error message:

    Could not copy the file "obj\Debug\Pig" because it was not found.

    You need to submit the pig script to the HDInsight cluster you have created.
