You are correct. By default each agent will download own copy of each package. If this is critical to change this behavior you should set up local repository. Which is mostly a must for large clusters, as network may be stuck for a while in such case and deploy will take a lot of time. Using Ambari server as proxy/file server is not a good idea. As we discovered on very large clusters even just downloading JDK from server may affect its performance a lot. So file server should be on separate node, and local repo is a good solution.
