java.io.IOException: Broken pipe on increasing number of mappers/reducers, a lot

I am running MapReduce job on a hadoop cluster of 6 nodes with 4 map tasks and 10 reduce tasks configured.

Mapper/Reducer fails a lot on increasing number of map/reduce tasks as below,

Task running on multiple nodes

I encounter the following error:

Even the simplest program is creating this problem:

mapper.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
for line in sys.stdin:
    if line:
        print "%s\n%s"%(line, line)

reducer.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
for line in sys.stdin:
    if line:
        print "%s"%(line)

I am using the following command to run hadoop.

hadoop jar /usr/local/hadoop/contrib/streaming/hadoop-streaming-1.0.3.jar -D mapred.reduce.tasks=10 -file /home/hduser/code/K1D/code1/mapper2.py -mapper mapper2.py -file /home/hduser/code/K1D/code1/reducer2.py -reducer reducer2.py -input /user/hduser/data-out/part-00000 -output /user/hduser/data-out1 -partitioner org.apache.hadoop.mapred.lib.KeyFieldBasedPartitioner

Can you suggest anything?

I ran into something similar and realized that I didn't have the exact version of python installed into one of my data nodes. I had

#!/usr/bin/env python

which I changed to

#!/usr/bin/env python2.7
