Devaraj Das commented on MAPREDUCE-1288:
----------------------------------------
All I am saying is that irrespective of the file being public or not, in the
current codebase, we localize the file exactly once per TaskTracker. On a given
tasktracker, users cannot share the same hdfs file as a distributed cache
file..
What I thought earlier was that the same file would be localized twice in such
a case (in their respective private directories).
> DistributedCache localizes only once per cache URI

> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce

> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 0.21.0

>
> As part of the file localization the distributed cache localizer creates a
> copy of the file in the corresponding user's private directory. The
> localization in DistributedCache assumes the key as the URI of the cachefile
> and if it already exists in the map, the localization is not done again. This
> means that another user cannot access the same distributed cache file. We
> should change the key to include the username so that localization is done
> for every user.
