Ok so you actually have 12M rows. One thing that surprised me in your config is:
> <name>mapred.job.tracker</name> > <value>localhost:9001</value> Is it the same config on every node? If so, and your master node also counts as a slave node (region server, datanode, tasktracker), then you probably only really have 1 TT running and the others are looking for their job tracker since it's define as "localhost" and aren't able to find it. Please confirm/fix this if needed. J-D
