>             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: tasktracker
>         Environment: 20-node cluster, 8 cores per machine, 32GB memory, Fedora Linux
>            Reporter: Brian Karlak

> We recently migrated our 0.19.2 cluster from Gentoo Linux to Fedora Linux.  Everything was running smoothly before, but now about 5%-10% of our jobs have at least one reduce task that stalls out and is eventually killed with the message:
>       Task attempt_200912102211_1648_r_000009_0 failed to report status for 6003 seconds. Killing!
> The task is then re-launched and completes successfully, usually in a couple of minutes.
> This is problematic because our scheduled Hadoop jobs now take an extra hour-and-a-half to run (6000 seconds).
> There are no indications in the logs that anything is amiss.  The task starts, a small amount of the copy/shuffle runs, and then nothing is else is heard from the task until it is killed.  I will attach the relevant parts of the TaskTracker logs in the comments.
