I have an MR task which runs well with a single input file or an input
directory with dozens of 50MB input files.

When the data is in a single input file of 1 GB of more the mapper never
gets to 0%. There are not errors but when I look at the cluster, the CPUs
are spending huge amounts of time in a wait state. The job runs when the
input is 800MB and can complete even with a number of 500MB files as input.

The cluster (0.02) has 8 nodes - 8 cpu per node. Block size is 64MB.

Any bright ideas

Steve,

Is the input file splittable?

Yes and I  presume that both the cases that succeed and fail are being split
