We have a UDF that is configured via a small properties file. What are the options for distributing the file for the task nodes? Also we want to be able to update the file frequently.
We are not running on AWS so S3 is not an option - and we do not have access to NFS/other shared disk from the Mappers. If the hive classes can access HDFS that would be likely most ideal - and it would seem should be possible. I am not clear how to do that - since the standard hdfs api requires the Configuration to be supplied - which is not available. Pointers appreciated. stephenb
