You place your jar in some dir in LFS specify your jar path in the hadoop jar command then hadoop internally copies the jar to all the required task trackers. Also you can place the jar in any location job tracker would distribute it across TT. Hope it helps Regards Bejoy.K.S On Tue, Oct 18, 2011 at 4:33 PM, Stuti Awasthi <stutiawas...@hcl.com<mailto:stutiawas...@hcl.com>> wrote: Hi, I have a very basic question on MR jobs. Suppose I have a cluster 3 nodes out of which 1 NN and 3 DN. I wanted to run an MR job so I placed the jar on 1 of the cluster machine and executed, it runs fine. Now my question is do I need to copy my MR job to every DN for distributed processing? Or Placing MR jar on any of the machine does not make any difference , MR job will run in distributed fashion.
