Can we use something like RAM FS to share static data across map tasks. Scenario, 1) Quadcore machine 2) 2 1-TB Disk 3) 8 GB ram,
Now Ii need ~2.7 GB ram per Map process to load some static data in memory using which i would be processing data.(cpu intensive jobs) Can i share memory across mappers on the same machine so that memory footprint is less and i can run more than 4 mappers simultaneously utilizing all 4 cores. Can we use stuff like RamFS
