Good morning, I would like to store some files in the distributed cache, in order to be opened and read from the mappers. The files are produced by an other Job and are sequence files. I am not sure if that format is proper for the distributed cache, as the files in distr.cache are stored and read locally. Should I change the format of the files in the previous Job and make them Text Files maybe and read them from the Distr.Cache using tha simple Java API? Or can I still handle them with the usual way we use sequence files, even if they reside in the local directory? Performance is extremely important for my project, so I don't know what the best solution would be.
Thank you in advance, Sofia Georgiakaki
