Hello,

I see in the archives that last month somebody had a question along these lines, but there didn't seem to be a real resolution. I am unable to run any processes due to some issue with the task tracker that I don't understand.

Command line interactions:

$ bin/hadoop dfs -mkdir input
$ bin/hadoop dfs -copyFromLocal ~/inputfiles.* input
$ bin/hadoop jar hadoop-0.19.0-examples.jar wordcount input output

With subsequent attempts that give the same error.

From the log file,

I believe that's where it starts to repeat. Similar log files for the other nodes in the cloud.

I have looked in the conf/ files for a place to set the tasksMaxMem but can only find in hadoop-default.xml:
<property>
  <name>mapred.tasktracker.taskmemorymanager.monitoring-interval</name>
  <value>5000</value>
</property>

I am using hadoop-0.19.0. I had a working system a month ago, but after a complete system reboot, I've had some issues with hadoop. Everything seems to go okay now with copying data in/out of the hdfs, but I can't run any processes. When I do jps on the namenode (roof), I get:
5417 DataNode
5287 NameNode
5779 TaskTracker
5653 JobTracker
5578 SecondaryNameNode
6566 Jps

So it seems like everything loads up fine.
Any pointers on how to fix the tasktracker problem? Or is there a hidden problem here?

Thanks,
Ilana
