/**
* Distribute application-specific large, read-only files efficiently.
*
* DistributedCache is a facility provided by the Map-Reduce
* framework to cache files (text, archives, jars etc.) needed by applications.
*
*
* Applications specify the files, via urls (hdfs:// or http://) to be cached
* via the {@link org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobConf}. The
* DistributedCache assumes that the files specified via urls are
* already present on the {@link FileSystem} at the path specified by the url
* and are accessible by every machine in the cluster.
*
* The framework will copy the necessary files on to the slave node before
* any tasks for the job are executed on that node. Its efficiency stems from
* the fact that the files are only copied once per job and the ability to
* cache archives which are un-archived on the slaves.
*
* DistributedCache can be used to distribute simple, read-only
* data/text files and/or more complex types such as archives, jars etc.
* Archives (zip, tar and tgz/tar.gz files) are un-archived at the slave nodes.
* Jars may be optionally added to the classpath of the tasks, a rudimentary
* software distribution mechanism. Files have execution permissions.
* In older version of Hadoop Map/Reduce users could optionally ask for symlinks
* to be created in the working directory of the child task. In the current
* version symlinks are always created. If the URL does not have a fragment
* the name of the file or directory will be used. If multiple files or
* directories map to the same link name, the last one added, will be used. All
* others will not even be downloaded.
*
* DistributedCache tracks modification timestamps of the cache
* files. Clearly the cache files should not be modified by the application
* or externally while the job is executing.
*
* Here is an illustrative example on how to use the
* DistributedCache:
*
* // Setting up the cache for the application
*
* 1. Copy the requisite files to the FileSystem:
*
* $ bin/hadoop fs -copyFromLocal lookup.dat /myapp/lookup.dat
* $ bin/hadoop fs -copyFromLocal map.zip /myapp/map.zip
* $ bin/hadoop fs -copyFromLocal mylib.jar /myapp/mylib.jar
* $ bin/hadoop fs -copyFromLocal mytar.tar /myapp/mytar.tar
* $ bin/hadoop fs -copyFromLocal mytgz.tgz /myapp/mytgz.tgz
* $ bin/hadoop fs -copyFromLocal mytargz.tar.gz /myapp/mytargz.tar.gz
*
* 2. Setup the application's JobConf:
*
* JobConf job = new JobConf();
* DistributedCache.addCacheFile(new URI("/myapp/lookup.dat#lookup.dat"),
* job);
* DistributedCache.addCacheArchive(new URI("/myapp/map.zip", job);
* DistributedCache.addFileToClassPath(new Path("/myapp/mylib.jar"), job);
* DistributedCache.addCacheArchive(new URI("/myapp/mytar.tar", job);
* DistributedCache.addCacheArchive(new URI("/myapp/mytgz.tgz", job);
* DistributedCache.addCacheArchive(new URI("/myapp/mytargz.tar.gz", job);
*
* 3. Use the cached files in the {@link org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Mapper}
* or {@link org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Reducer}:
*
* public static class MapClass extends MapReduceBase
* implements Mapper<K, V, K, V> {
*
* private Path[] localArchives;
* private Path[] localFiles;
*
* public void configure(JobConf job) {
* // Get the cached archives/files
* File f = new File("./map.zip/some/file/in/zip.txt");
* }
*
* public void map(K key, V value,
* OutputCollector<K, V> output, Reporter reporter)
* throws IOException {
* // Use data from the cached archives/files here
* // ...
* // ...
* output.collect(k, v);
* }
* }
*
*
*
* It is also very common to use the DistributedCache by using
* {@link org.apache.hadoop.util.GenericOptionsParser}.
*
* This class includes methods that should be used by users
* (specifically those mentioned in the example above, as well
* as {@link DistributedCache#addArchiveToClassPath(Path, Configuration)}),
* as well as methods intended for use by the MapReduce framework
* (e.g., {@link org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobClient}).
*
* @see org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobConf
* @see org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobClient
* @see org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Job
