Hi All, I have a simple question. I have a arraylist which i am populating through db in main class. now i want to use the same list in my map and reduce class so the question is how to access/send this array list in map and reduce class. one way is to again fetch the data in mapper and reducer classes which means 3 times db access and seems not suitable and other way either could be define arraylist as static in main class and then access it or might be using distributed cache.
so kindly let me know the best way of doing it Thanks -- Regards Shuja-ur-Rehman Baig <http://pk.linkedin.com/in/shujamughal>
