When the path is wrong or jar is corrupted, there are exceptions thrown. I am not getting neither exception messages. Therefore, I assume the jar file is loaded as expected. I also tried another method by using DistributedCache syntax to add jar from HDFS to jobconf, and run the job. It didsn't work neither. Is there any procedure that I could follow to debug this further? Regards, Eric
