Yeah Andrew.. there seems to be some problem with context.getCacheFiles()
api which is returning null..
Path[] cachedFilePaths =
context.getLocalCacheFiles(); // I am checking why it is
deprecated...
for (Path cachedFilePath : cachedFilePaths) {
File cachedFile = new File(cachedFilePath.toUri().getRawPath());
System.out.println("cached fie path >> "
+ cachedFile.getAbsolutePath());
}
I hope this helps for the time being.. JobContext was suppose to replace
DistributedCache api (it will be deprecated) however there is some problem
with that or I am missing something... Will reply if I find the solution to
it.
context.getCacheFiles will give you the uri used for localizing files...
(original uri used for adding it to cache)... However you can use
DistributedCache.getCacheFiles() api till context api is fixed.
context.getLocalCacheFiles .. will give you the actual file path on node
manager... (after file is localized).
Thanks,
