re: not reporting, I thought this was not needed with the new mapred api (Mapper class vs Mapper interface), plus I can see that the mappers do work, report percentage and happily terminate (I believe Mapper.Context.write does a call to progress() behind the scenes). I will check if it makes any difference though.
