FWIW, here's my results of your snippet, and it apparently looks like configure() is called just fine: https://gist.github.com/bae64045e55377089afd. I think the trouble is with your code, on how you're trying to load the distributed cache elements out and back in. My guess is that you haven't initialized some of the variables you may be .equals()-ing against and thereby they're being treated as nulls? Its definitely not a Hadoop-side issue afaict. -- Harsh J
