Hi Hemanth, I did not explicitly using DistributedCache in my code. I did not use any command line arguments like -libjars neither.
Where can I find job.xml? I am using Hbase MapReduce API and not setting any job.xml. The key point is I want to limit the size of /tmp/hadoop-root/mapred/local/archive. Could you help? Thanks.

TableMapReduceUtil has APIs like addDependencyJars which will use DistributedCache. I don't think you are explicitly using that. Are you using any command line arguments like -libjars etc when you are launching the MapReduce job ? Alternatively you can check job.xml of the launched MR job to see if it has set properties having prefixes like mapred.cache. If nothing's set there, it would seem like some other process or user is adding jars to DistributedCache when using the cluster.

There are some jar and class files inside. My application uses MapReduce job to do purge Hbase old data. I am using basic HBase MapReduce API to delete rows from Hbase table. I do not specify to use Distributed cache. Maybe HBase use it? Some code here: Scan scan = new Scan(); scan.setCaching(500); // 1 is the default in Scan, which will be bad for MapReduce jobs scan.setCacheBlocks(false); // don't set to true for MR jobs scan.setTimeRange(Long.MIN_VALUE, timestamp); // set other scan attrs // the purge start time Date date=new Date(); TableMapReduceUtil.initTableMapperJob( tableName, // input table scan, // Scan instance to control CF and attribute selection MapperDelete.class, // mapper class null, // mapper output key null, // mapper output value job); job.setOutputFormatClass(TableOutputFormat.class); job.getConfiguration().set(TableOutputFormat.OUTPUT_TABLE, tableName); job.setNumReduceTasks(0); boolean b = job.waitForCompletion(true); From: Hemanth Yamijala [mailto:yhema...@thoughtworks.com<mailto:yhema...@thoughtworks.com>] Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2013 12:29 AM To: user@hadoop.apache.org<mailto:user@hadoop.apache.org> Subject: Re: How to configure mapreduce archive size? Could you paste the contents of the directory ? Not sure whether that will help, but just giving it a shot. What application are you using ? Is it custom MapReduce jobs in which you use Distributed cache (I guess not) ?

Ensure no jobs are running (cache limit is only for non-active cache files), check after a little while (takes sometime for the cleaner thread to kick in).

Hi, This directory is used as part of the 'DistributedCache' feature. (http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r1.0.4/mapred_tutorial.html#DistributedCache). There is a configuration key "local.cache.size" which controls the amount of data stored under DistributedCache. The default limit is 10GB. However, the files under this cannot be deleted if they are being used. Also, some frameworks on Hadoop could be using DistributedCache transparently to you. So you could check what is being stored here and based on that lower the limit of the cache size if you feel that will help. The property needs to be set in mapred-default.xml.
