Robert,

My mapper job fails. I am basically trying to run a crawler on hadoop and
hadoop kills the crawler (mapper) if it has not heard from it for a certain
timeout period. But I already have a timeout set in my mapper(500 seconds)
which is lesser than hadoop's timeout(900 seconds). The mapper just stalls
for some reason. My mapper code is as follows:

while read line;do
  result="`wget -O - --timeout=500 http://$line 2>&1`"
  echo $result
done

Any idea why my mapper is getting stalled ?

I don't see the difference between the command you have given and the one I
ran. I am not running in local mode. Is there some way by which I can get
intermediate mapper outputs ? I would like to see for which site the mapper
is getting stalled.

Thanks,
Aishwarya
