Joey What is it do you really want to do? Increase the number of map slots available in the task tracker or do you want to increase the number of map tasks for a job?
If you want to increase the number of map slots available, what you did will work - as long as you restarted the task tracker or the node. If you want to increase the number of map jobs - you will have to play with, simplistically speaking, either the number of input files or input block size.
