Error processing complex json object of twitter with pig JsonLoader() of elephant-bird Jars

Question

I wanted to process twitter json object with pig using elephant-bird jars for which i wrote the pig script as below.

REGISTER '/usr/lib/pig/lib/elephant-bird-hadoop-compat-4.1.jar';
REGISTER '/usr/lib/pig/lib/elephant-bird-pig-4.1.jar';

A = LOAD '/user/flume/tweets/data.json' USING com.twitter.elephantbird.pig.load.JsonLoader('-nestedLoad') AS myMap;
B = FOREACH A GENERATE myMap#'id' AS ID,myMap#'created_at' AS createdAT;
DUMP B;

which gave me error as below

REGISTER '/tmp/elephant-bird-core-4.1.jar';

REGISTER '/tmp/elephant-bird-pig-4.1.jar';

REGISTER '/tmp/elephant-bird-hadoop-compat-4.1.jar';

REGISTER '/tmp/google-collections-1.0.jar';

REGISTER '/tmp/json-simple-1.1.jar';

It works.
