Gianmarco De Francisci Morales commented on MAPREDUCE-2187:
-----------------------------------------------------------

I forgot to mention. I am using Hadoop 0.20.201 from Yahoo's distribution.
I don't know whether there are differences related to this behavior.

>             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 0.20.2
>            Reporter: Gianmarco De Francisci Morales

> During the execution of a large job, the map tasks timeout:
> {code}
> INFO mapred.JobClient: Task Id : attempt_201010290414_60974_m_000057_1, Status : FAILED
> Task attempt_201010290414_60974_m_000057_1 failed to report status for 609 seconds. Killing!
> {code}
> The bug is in the fact that the mapper has already finished, and, according to the logs, the timeout occurs during the merge sort phase.
> The intermediate data generated by the map task is quite large. So I think this is the problem.
> The logs show that the merge-sort was running for 10 minutes when the task was killed.
> I think the mapred.Merger should call Reporter.progress() somewhere.
