Yeah. With 2 nodes the reducers will go up to 16% because the reducer
are able to fetch maps from the same machine (locally) but fails to copy
it from the remote machine. A common reason in such cases is the
*restricted machine access* (firewall etc). The web-server on a
machine/node hosts map outputs which the reducers on the other machine
are not able to access. There will be a URL associated with a map that
the reducer try to fetch (check the reducer logs for this url). Just try
accessing it manually from the reducer's machine/node. Most likely this
experiment should also fail. Let us know if this is not the case.

Can you post the reducer logs. How many nodes are there in the cluster?
There are 6 nodes in the cluster - 1 master and 5 slaves
I tried to reduce the number of nodes, and found that the problem is solved
only if there is a single node in the cluster. So I can deduce that the problem
is there in some configuration.

===============
Are you seeing this for all the maps and reducers?
Yes, this happens on all the maps and reducers. I tried to keep just 2 nodes in
the cluster but still the problem exists.
Are the reducers progressing at all?
The reducers continue to execute upto a certain point, but after that they just do not proceed at all. They just stop at an average of 16%.
Are all the maps that the reducer is failing from a remote machine?
Yes.
Are all the failed maps/reducers from the same machine?
All the maps and reducers are failing anyways.
Thanks for the help in advance,

Sayali
