Error observed in Task Logs A few of the task attempts fail with the following error message:
2013-09-03 08:47:07,670 INFO org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Merger: Merging 1000 sorted segments 2013-09-03 08:47:07,852 INFO org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Merger: Down to the last merge-pass, with 994 segments left of total size: 339341655 bytes 2013-09-03 08:47:08,047 ERROR org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Child: Error in syncLogs: ENOENT: No such file or directory The task gets attempted and succeeds on other tasktrackers. The tasktracker where the problem occurred executes few other tasks fine. Any idea on what could be wrong? Benoy Antony
