Sangjin Lee commented on HADOOP-9639:
-------------------------------------
I'd like to get started on implementing this feature, assuming that the feature
is considered useful and at least the core of the design reasonable. We could
still make subsequent changes to the design as the implementation progresses.
I would very much like to do this out in the open, rather than creating a large
patch at the end of the implementation and proposing it. That way, we could get
more fine-grained feedback. What are good ways to do it for something like this?
Is the branch committer concept potentially applicable here? Please let me know
what you think. Thanks!

> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: filecache
> Affects Versions: 2.0.4-alpha

> Currently there is the distributed cache that enables you to cache jars and
> files so that attempts from the same job can reuse them. However, sharing is
> limited with the distributed cache because it is normally on a per-job basis.
> On a large cluster, sometimes copying of jobjars and libjars becomes so
> prevalent that it consumes a large portion of the network bandwidth, not to
> speak of defeating the purpose of "bringing compute to where data is". This
> is wasteful because in most cases code doesn't change much across many jobs.
> I'd like to propose and discuss feasibility of introducing a truly shared
> cache so that multiple jobs from multiple users can share and cache jars.
> This JIRA is to open the discussion.
