Yes guys. We observed such problems.
They will be common for 0.18.2 and 0.19.0 exactly as you
described it when data-nodes become unstable.

There were several issues, please take a look
HADOOP-4997 workaround for tmp file handling on DataNodes
HADOOP-4663 - links to other related
HADOOP-4810 Data lost at cluster startup
HADOOP-4702 Failed block replication leaves an incomplete block
....

We run 0.18.3 now and it does not have these problems.
0.19.1 should be the same.

Thanks,

there are 4 mappers and 0 reducers.

xlarge is good. Is it normally happening during a MR job? If so, how many
tasks do you have running at the same moment overall? Also, is your data
stored on EBS?

Thx,

Richard,

This happens when the datanodes are too slow and eventually all replicas for a single block are tagged as "bad". What kind of instances are you using?
How many of them?

Might there be a reason for why this seems to routinely happen to me when using Hadoop 0.19.0 on Amazon EC2?
