It seems the files cannot be validated for some reason. The source files are fine, not corrupt and can be read without issues.
java.io.IOException: Validation of copy of file hftp://namenode01.openindex.io:50070/user/systems/segments/index/20111021161228/crawl_parse/part-00011 failed. at org.apache.hadoop.tools.DistCp$CopyFilesMapper.copy(DistCp.java:540) at org.apache.hadoop.tools.DistCp$CopyFilesMapper.copyWithRetries(DistCp.java:595) at org.apache.hadoop.tools.DistCp$CopyFilesMapper.map(DistCp.java:651) at org.apache.hadoop.tools.DistCp$CopyFilesMapper.map(DistCp.java:325) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapRunner.run(MapRunner.java:54) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapTask.runOldMapper(MapTask.java:389) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapTask.run(MapTask.java:322) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Child$4.run(Child.java:223) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at javax.security.auth.Subject.doAs(Subject.java:396) at org.apache.hadoop.security.UserGroupInformation.doAs(UserGroupInformation.java:1153) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Child.main(Child.java:217) When i retry some will be copied but most will fail. At a third retry all will fail or be skipped. I also found MAPREDUE-2406 [1] and gave -pb a try, i can confirm this solves the problem.
