Are any of your job's reducers completing? Do you see 'fetch failures' messages either in JT logs or reducers' (tasks) logs? If not it's clear that the JobTracker/Scheduler (which Scheduler are you using btw?) are 'losing' tasks which is a serious bug. You say that you are running CDH - unfortunately I have no idea what patchsets you run with it. I can't, at the top of my head, remember the JT/CapacityScheduler losing a task - but I maintained Yahoo clusters which ran hadoop-0.20.203. Here is something worth trying: $ cat JOBTRACKER.log | grep Assigning | grep _<clustertimestamp>_<jobid>_m_* The JOBTRACKER.log is the JT's log file on the JT host and if your jobid is job_12345342432_0001, then <clustertimestamp> == 12345342432 and <jobid> == 0001. Good luck.
