All, I cannot confirm if this is an issue with my code / usage or if I am actually running into a framework issue. I just ran a job that uses the exact same method and it works perfectly which makes me think I am missing something minor.
I have Tool implemented for my main class and I am using -files on the command line to pass it a local URI. I use the code below to access the file in the setup method of the mapper: ... try{ Path[] cacheFiles = DistributedCache.getLocalCacheFiles(context.getConfiguration()); if (cacheFiles != null && cacheFiles.length > 0){ System.out.println("Reading data from DistributedCache: " + cacheFiles[0].toString() + "\n"); FileSystem fs = FileSystem.get(context.getConfiguration()); FSDataInputStream scoresInputStream = fs.open(cacheFiles[0]); ... The only thing I can think of is the file size is substantially different (6MB vs 90MB) but with the network backend we have it should be less than a 2 second difference between the file being there or not. Is it possible that the file has not propagated by the time it is attempted to be accessed and are there hooks in there to not start until files have been fully distributed?
