Hi, I was looking into this issue but would be happy if someone could clarify some of my doubts.
Is the issue related to the given below snapshot of log: org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskTracker: Task attempt_201305211246_0001_r_000001_0 is in commit-pending, task state:COMMIT_PENDING 2013-05-21 12:48:51,058 INFO org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskTracker: attempt_201305211246_0001_r_000001_0 0.0% reduce > copy > 2013-05-21 12:48:51,769 DEBUG org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskTracker: Got heartbeatResponse from JobTracker with responseId: 27 and 2 actions 2013-05-21 12:48:51,769 INFO org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskTracker: Received commit task action for attempt_201305211246_0001_r_000000_0 2013-05-21 12:48:51,769 INFO org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskTracker: Received commit task action for attempt_201305211246_0001_r_000001_0 2013-05-21 12:48:53,695 INFO org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskTracker: attempt_201305211246_0001_r_000001_0 1.0% reduce > reduce 2013-05-21 12:48:53,777 INFO The issue says 'TaskTracker#reportProgress logging of 0.0-1.0 progress is followed by percent sign' 1.attempt_201305211246_0001_r_000001_0 0.0% reduce 2.attempt_201305211246_0001_r_000001_0 1.0% reduce If my understanding is correct the percent sign at the end of 0.0 and 1.0 should be removed.
