To keep this post light:
– Clean installed the Hortonworks Sandbox
– Started the linked tutorials
– Failed to run the Hive steps, and then the Pig steps
– Started to investigate, and discovered lots of errors relating to “connection refused/failed”, see this link: http://imgur.com/lZXrgOi
I’m still fairly new to this area and thus any advice/recommendations/suggestions would be invaluable. Note, this is in VMware Workstation 11 on Windows 8.1 using a NAT.
