Guys, I'm not the one who said 'HDFS' unless I had a brain bubble in my original message. I asked for a distribution mechanism for code+mappable data. I appreciate the arrival of some suggestions.
Ted is correct that I know quite a bit about mmap; I had a lot to do with the code in ObjectStore that ran a VM system in user space by mmaping files and handling SIGSEGV and the Windows moral equivalent. I am fully-aware that a 'simple ' HDFS solution involves hauling the entire file onto each node, contiguously, and a 'complex' one involves either an NFS server on top of HDFS or, for the truly enthusiastic, things in the kernel a-la ClearCase.
