Hi We just have discussed about the similar problem(the title is Increase the number of mappers in PM mode),as I thought.
First of all you can not setup the the number of mappers.however you change the mapred.max.split.size, or mapred.min.split.size ,the number of the mapper will change automatically. I think the two mappers which you got in your situation,that is because the value of the mapred.max.split.size, or mapred.min.split.size. Do please check that .and appreciate that you give the results.
