Jason Lowe commented on HADOOP-9639:
------------------------------------
This feature is already supported in the MapReduce framework. See
ClientDistributedCacheManager.determineCacheVisibilities and
MRApps.setupDistributedCache. In a nutshell: if the file/archive is publicly
accessible then the resource will be marked PUBLIC in the
ApplicationSubmissionContext and will be shared in the distributed cache. So
as long as the permissions of the parent directories and the file/archive
itself are appropriate, the resource should be automatically marked PUBLIC and
shared across jobs. The key is to make sure these files are already in HDFS
and referenced directly by the job when it is submitted. If the jar is sitting
in a local filesystem when the job is submitted then it will be uploaded to the
staging area which is always private.

> Key: HADOOP-9639
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9639
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: filecache
> Affects Versions: 2.0.4-alpha
> Reporter: Sangjin Lee
>
> Currently there is the distributed cache that enables you to cache jars and
> files so that attempts from the same job can reuse them. However, sharing is
> limited with the distributed cache because it is normally on a per-job basis.
> On a large cluster, sometimes copying of jobjars and libjars becomes so
> prevalent that it consumes a large portion of the network bandwidth, not to
> speak of defeating the purpose of "bringing compute to where data is". This
> is wasteful because in most cases code doesn't change much across many jobs.
> I'd like to propose and discuss feasibility of introducing a truly shared
> cache so that multiple jobs from multiple users can share and cache jars.
> This JIRA is to open the discussion.
