Actually I got an error message when I ran the above awk code to my actual file with 17,377 lines. The following was the error message:

Code:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Is it a memory issue? Please let me know a solution

Not sure. As F[ ] elements are created when referenced, memory may become exhausted, but then the error msg should complain about memory allocation problems. Try this:
Code:
awk     'NR == FNR      {F[$1]=$2; R[$1]=$3; next}
         FNR > 1        {for (i=1; i<=NF; i++) {
                                 if ($i == F[++CNT]) $i=R[CNT]
                                 delete F[CNT]
                                }
                        }
         1
        ' file2 FS="" OFS="" file1
