You can increase the map/reduce slots
using "mapred.tasktracker.map(reduce).tasks.maximum" property only
there can be following cases
1. your changes are not taking effect. you need to restart the cluster after
making changes in conf xml.
you can check your cluster (Map/Reduce) capacity at
http://jobtracker-address:50030/
2. your data is not enough to create more than 2 map tasks. But in that case
reducers should still be equal
to mapred.reduce.tasks
