Sandy Ryza commented on SPARK-4290:
-----------------------------------
SparkFiles.get needs to be called, but it will only download them once per
executor. The distributed cache is lazy in this way too.
> Provide an equivalent functionality of distributed cache as MR does

> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Spark Core
> Reporter: Xuefu Zhang
>
> MapReduce allows client to specify files to be put in distributed cache for a
> job and the framework guarentees that the file will be available in local
> file system of a node where a task of the job runs and before the tasks
> actually starts. While this might be achieved with Yarn via hacks, it's not
> available in other clusters. It would be nice to have such an equivalent
> functionality like this in Spark.
> It would also complement Spark's broadcast variable, which may not be
> suitable in certain scenarios.
