You can try the following - make it into a map only job (for debug purposes) - start your shuffle phase after all the maps are complete( there is a parameter for this) -characterize your disks for performance

Are you using some kind of shared storage for map outputs? Any problems with the physical disks? If the shuffle phase has started could the disks be I/O waiting between the read and write?
