I have a Pig script running in MapReduce mode that's been receiving a persistent error which I've been unable to fix. The script spawns multiple applications; after running for several hours one of the application registers as SUCCEEDED but always returns the following diagnostic message:
We crashed after successfully committing. Recovering.
The step that causes the failure is trying to perform a RANK over a dataset that's around 100GB, split across roughly 1000 mapreduce output files from a previous script.
Digging into the logs, I find the following, which also seems to indicate that the job succeeded but then received an error winding down:

I've tried several methods of resolving the mapreduce.counters.LimitExceededException. I've modified the MapReduce configs to set mapreduce.job.counters.max to 20000 (just in an effort to test a resolution to this issue, not with the intent of leaving it there). I also tried starting my Pig script with the line set mapreduce.job.counters.max 10000; in an effort to override the max counters. Neither change appears to have any impact.
I'm confused why changing the max counters configuration doesn't seem to be having an impact. Is there some related configuration I could be missing? Or is this error message possibly inaccurate, or a symptom that signifies a different issue?
I'm at my wits' end trying to resolve this, any help would be appreciated!
