No, I was wondering if you are specifying –cacheArchive or –cacheFile. These are fetched by the tasktracker prior to task startup, and can delay task launch.

What do the logs on the TaskTracker tell you during the time the slow tasks are getting launched? hadoop-0.20.203 has a ton of bug fixes since hadoop-0.20.2 which help fix issues with slow launches - you might want to upgrade. Arun On Aug 5, 2011, at 11:02 AM, Iman E wrote: Hello all, I have a question regarding the mappers. I can see from the logs that the start time of the mapper is different from start time of logging. I am having a problem because that time difference sometimes is few seconds, but other times it is For example, one mapper that is supposed to read 65 MB. Its start time is 12:30:53 whereis the logging start time is 12:33:01 and the end time is 12:33:20. All the laoded data are local to the same rack. In a perfect run, these numbers are as follows: the start time is 18:15:45, logging start time: 18:15:48, and end time: 18:16:02. I am running a job of more than 2400 mapper. Because of the above problem, instead of the job taking 15-20 mins on 14 machine ( it happened in few runs), other times it is taking more than 70 mins. Any suggestions how to fix this problem or what could possibly be causing it. Thanks, Iman
