We have two objects here. One is Master and other is child of that master. we have an external field on the master Object. I am trying to perform the Upsert Operation on the Child object with the help of external Field of master object.

I am providing the externalIdfield attribute in config file. But, dataloader is not identifying the field and throwing an error. entry key="sfdc.externalIdField" value="Master__r.External_id__c"

Please suggest . Thanks.

It looks as though there is a little confusion regarding the configuration.

In the config file

entry key="sfdc.externalIdField" value="Master__r.External_id__c" 

tells the dataloader what externalid to use to differentiate the child objects when creating them.

To upsert a relationship in the dataloader you need to specify the mapping in the SDL file for example:

Id=Id
Master__r.External_id__c=Master__r\:External_id__c

Please note these relationship mappings are only available for upserts, not for inserts or updates as far as I am aware. You may find this link helpful too.
