Not sure what you mean... If you want to put up a small file to be used by each Task in your job (mapper or reducer)... you could put it up on HDFS.
Or if you're launching your job from an edge node, you could read in the small file and put it in to the distributed cache. It really depends on what you are attempting to do, and the size of the small file.
