A distributed cache in Hadoop is a mechanism that allows users to store and share data files across all nodes in a Hadoop cluster. It helps improve the performance of MapReduce jobs by caching files that can be used by multiple tasks, thus reducing the need to read from HDFS repeatedly. ### Key Features: - **Efficiency**: Provides faster access to frequently used files. - **Automatic Distribution**: Files are automatically distributed to all task nodes when a job starts. - **Read-Only**: Cached files are typically read-only during job execution. ### Common Use Cases: - Storing lookup tables. - Sharing configuration files. - Caching libraries or JAR files needed for tasks. In Hadoop, the distributed cache can be configured using the `DistributedCache` class in older versions or through the newer APIs in Hadoop 2.x and later. read less
