Hi Mike & Prav, Although I am new to Hadoop, but would like to add my 2 cents if that helps. We are having 2 ways for distribution of shared data, one is using Job configuration and other is DistributedCache. As job configuration is read by the JT, TT and child JVMs, and each time the configuration is read, all of its entries are read in memory, even if they are not used. So using job configuration is not advised if the data is more than few kilobytes. So it is not alternative to DistributedCache unless some modifications are done in Job configuration to address this limitation. So I am also curious to know the alternatative to DistributedCache class.
