We can't really alter the jobs... This is a rather complex system with our own DSL for writing jobs so that other departments can use our data. The number of mappers is determined based on the number of input files involved...
Setting this to 0 in a cluster where resources will be scarce at times doesn't really sound like a solution - I don't have any of these problems on our 30 node test cluster, so I can't really try it out there and setting the timeout to 0 on production doesn't give me a great deal of confidence...
