I have things running (from scala 2.10 branch) for over 3-4 hours now
without a problem and my jobs write data about the same as you suggested.
My cluster size is 7 nodes and not *congested* for memory. I going to leave
jobs running all night long. Meanwhile I had encourage you to try to spot
the problem such that it is reproducible that can help a ton in fixing the
issue.

Thanks for testing and reporting your experience. I still feel there is
something else wrong !. About tolerance for network connection timeouts,
setting those properties should work, but I am afraid about Disassociation
Event though. I will have to check this is indeed hard to reproduce bug if
it is, I mean how do I simulate network delays ?
