I did a "select count(*) from", it's quite slow and I try to set 
mapred.reduce.tasks higher, but the reduce task turn out always unchanged and 
remain to 1(I can see it in the mapreduce administrator Web UI).
It seems the map process is quite fast but the reduce process is quite slow, 
the phenomenon is that the reduce can jump to 20% in a short time but then will 
block there for quite a long time, the following is the actuall process:

    > select count(1) from log_game_farm_goods;
Total MapReduce jobs = 1
Launching Job 1 out of 1
Number of reduce tasks determined at compile time: 1
In order to change the average load for a reducer (in bytes):
  set hive.exec.reducers.bytes.per.reducer=<number>
In order to limit the maximum number of reducers:
  set hive.exec.reducers.max=<number>
In order to set a constant number of reducers:
  set mapred.reduce.tasks=<number>

My cluster consists of only 4 nodes :1 namenode and 3 datanodes, it seems that 
the network speed is not quite good,there's too many fetch-failures in the 
mapreduce running. And I think this is the reason,if so can anyone tell me the 
request for network status, otherwise tell me the reason. Thanks a lot!
