hey all,
i've got a mapreduce task that works on small (~1G) input. when i try
to run the same task on large (~100G) input, i get the following error
around when the map tasks are almost done (~98%)

These are not error messages. The reducers are stuck as not all maps are
completed. Mori, could you let us know what is happening to the other 2%
maps. Are they getting executed? Are they still pending (waiting to
run)? Were they killed/failed? Is there any lost tracker?
I'm running the task on a cluster of 5 workers, one DFS master, and
one task tracker.
What do you mean by 5 workers and 1 task tracker?
i'm chaining mapreduce tasks, so i'm using SequenceFileOutput and
SequenceFileInput. this error happens before the first link in the
chain sucessfully reduces.
Can you elaborate this a bit. Are you chaining MR jobs?
Amar
does anyone have any insight? thanks!
