Arun C Murthy commented on MAPREDUCE-4568:
------------------------------------------
Ok, I spent an inordinate amount of time into this, but I finally am ready to
give up.
Unfortunately none of the DistributedCache apis (i.e.
DistributedCache.addCache(File|Archive) or Job.addCache(File|Archive) ) have an
exception specification - this means we'll need to resort to throw
RuntimeException or such which I'm not a fan of...
For now, I feel the best we can do (without breaking compat) is to just
document this and leave it as it is...
Thoughts?

> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce

> Reporter: Mohammad Kamrul Islam
> Assignee: Arun C Murthy
>
> According to #MAPREDUCE-4549, Hadoop 2.x throws exception if duplicates found
> in cacheFiles or cacheArchives. The exception throws during job submission.
> This JIRA is to throw the exception ==early== when it is first added to the
> Distributed Cache through addCacheFile or addFileToClassPath.
> It will help the client to decide whether to fail-fast or continue w/o the
> duplicated entries.
> Alternatively, Hadoop could provide a knob where user will choose whether to
> throw error( coming behavior) or silently ignore (old behavior).
