Hi Sharat A couple of questions/comments:
1. Is your input graph complete? 2. If it is not complete, it might make sense to use adjacency lists of graph nodes as the input to each map function. (Multiple adjacency lists for the map task) 3. Even if it is complete, using the adjacency lists - or a partition of the edges as input for each map task might help.
