Hi All, I am using DistributedCache.addCacheArchives() to distribute a tar file to the tasktrackers using the following statement.
DistributedCache.addCacheArchives(new URI("/home/akhil1988/sample.tar"), conf); According to the documentation it should get unarchived at the tasktrackers. But the statement: DistributedCache.getLocalCacheArchives(conf); returns the following Path /hadoop/tmp/hadoop/mapred/local/taskTracker/archive/cn1.cloud.cs.illinois.edu/home/akhil1988/sample.tar That means sample.tar did not get unarchived. Nor I am able to access file sample.txt in the above folder. Can anyone tell where I am going wrong? I tarred the file sample.txt using the following command: tar -cvf sample.tar sample.txt Thanks, Akhil -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Archives-not-getting-unarchived-at-tasktrackers-tp24233281p24233281.html Sent from the Hadoop core-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
