Hi Karthik, FYI, I'm moving this thread to mapreduce-user@hadoop.apache.org (You and common-user are BCCed).
My guess is that your task trackers are throwing a lot of exceptions which are getting logged. Can you send a snippet of the logs to help diagnose why it's logging so much? Can you also let us know what logging level you currently have enabled? -Joey On Mon, May 23, 2011 at 8:30 AM, Karthik Kumar <karthik84ku...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I am using a small cluster of 1 master node and 2 salves.
