Description

This simple code throw an NPE

final PigContext pigContext = new PigContext(ExecType.MAPREDUCE);
pigContext.getConf().putAll(properties);

Because in PigContext.java:

transient private Properties conf = null;
public void connect() throws ExecException {
    ... 
    conf = new Properties();
    ....
}

Simple patch:

transient private Properties conf = new Properties();
public void connect() throws ExecException {
    ... 
}

This is regression already fix in PIG-69.
Introduce with PIG-32
