Devaraj Das commented on HADOOP-3130:
-------------------------------------

Runping, from the logs it is clear that the backoff strategy hasn't kicked in. 
I see the following lines repeating over and over again:

and 0 dup hosts)
</noformat>
This looks like the reducer isn't getting the event for one map from its host 
tasktracker. If it had backed off, you would have seen non-zero "slow hosts". 

Did the reducer finally succeed in getting the map output? Which version of 
hadoop are you on?

> Shuffling takes too long to get the last map output.

> I noticed that towards the end of shufflling, the map output fetcher of the

> I attach a fraction of one reduce log of my job.
> Noticed that the last map output was not fetched in 2 minutes.
