dhruba borthakur commented on MAPREDUCE-1901:
---------------------------------------------
> use a model like AFS with callbacks to implement a on-disk cache
It means that a central authority stores the mapping of active callbacks and
their associated clients (and files). if a client dies prematurely, the central
authority should have the option to recover that callback and hand it over to a
newly requesting client. are you proposing that the NN and/or JT be this
central authority?
> Jobs should not submit the same jar files over and over again

>
> Currently each Hadoop job uploads the required resources
> (jars/files/archives) to a new location in HDFS. Map-reduce nodes involved in
> executing this job would then download these resources into local disk.
> In an environment where most of the users are using a standard set of jars
> and files (because they are using a framework like Hive/Pig) - the same jars
> keep getting uploaded and downloaded repeatedly. The overhead of this
> protocol (primarily in terms of end-user latency) is significant when:
> - the jobs are small (and conversantly - large in number)
> - Namenode is under load (meaning hdfs latencies are high and made worse, in
> part, by this protocol)
> Hadoop should provide a way for jobs in a cooperative environment to not
> submit the same files over and again. Identifying and caching execution
> resources by a content signature (md5/sha) would be a good alternative to
> have available.
