I'm a little confused how the -files flag works.  My understanding is that it 
takes two arguments: a file URI (could be local or on HDFS, assumed local if no 
URI scheme is provided) and a short "tag" representing the file on the 
distributed cache, usually just the name of the file without the long path that 
precedes it in the URI.

But, -files can also pass multiple files to the distributed cache, so, how does 
this all go together.  Are odd arguments all URIs and even arguments all 
cache-tags?  Is it that simple?  I'm not really sure how to fit it all together 
if I need to send several files to the distributed cache (several shared 
libraries for example).

Thanks.
