Hadoop Pig Latin always fails to Load Data - hadoop

Question

I'm making my first steps in Hadoop's Pig Latin,but I'm really blocked since i can't load any input data even if it exists
R = LOAD '/home/cloudera/Desktop/vol.csv' USING PigStorage(';')
AS
(AnneeVol:int,MoisVol:int,JourVol:int,NumVol:int,AeroDep:chararray,AeroArriv:chararray,DistVol:int);
File Location
upon running :
DUMP R;
I get this error

Input(s): Failed to read data from "/home/cloudera/pig_lab/input/vol.csv"

How do I fix this issue ?
Thank you !

The program try to find the vol.csv in the HDFS not on your local file system
Input path does not exist: hdfs://quickstart.cloudera:8020/home/cloudera/pig_lab/input/vol.csv
Please check core-site.xml for your default fileSystem. Currently it would have value hdfs://quickstart.cloudera:8020. Thats why it searches the file HDFS. You DON'T have to change anything there.
Just add file:// tag before the path to tell the program to find the vol.csv from your local fileSystem.
R = LOAD 'file:///home/cloudera/Desktop/vol.csv' USING PigStorage(';') AS (AnneeVol:int,MoisVol:int,JourVol:int,NumVol:int,AeroDep:chararray,AeroArriv:chararray,DistVol:int);
Ref: Cloudera blog
If that doesn’t help either put the file in HDFS and then refer that location in your code.
hdfs dfs -put /home/cloudera/Desktop/vol.csv hdfs://quickstart.cloudera:8020/user/<hdfs-user>/
Then in your code
R = LOAD '/user/<hdfs-user>/vol.csv' USING PigStorage(';') AS (AnneeVol:int,MoisVol:int,JourVol:int,NumVol:int,AeroDep:chararray,AeroArriv:chararray,DistVol:int);
