Hi again

Browsing the source code (Merger.class) I see that merger actually call reporter.progress() so shouldn't this make the task be reported as still working?

Hi all

I have a big map task that takes a long time to complete and produces a lot of information. The merge part makes the task timeout (you can see this in the end of this email, the merge part is aborted after ten minutes, the default time). I've increased the mapred.tasks.timeout property to 30 min instead of 10, in hadoop-site.xml as follows: <property> <name>mapred.task.timeout</name> <value>1800000</value> </property>
        But stiil the task fails with:
Task attempt_200811201704_0001_m_000000_0 failed to report status for 603 seconds. Killing!

        Is there any other property I should change?.
