You are giving us the mile high overview of the problem, pointing to a specific culprit could be very time consuming. Instead, can you run some system tests and make sure things work the way they should? Are the disks strangely slow? Any switches acting up? Regarding your CPUs, counting is mostly

Thanks for the reply. We ran the TestDFSIO benchmark on both the development and production and found the production to be better.The statistics are shown below. But once we bring HBase into the picture things gets reversed :-( The count operation,map-reduces etc becomes less performing on the
