> DistributedCache does not check recursively if the content a directory has changed when adding files to it with {{DistributedCache.addCacheFile()}}. 
> h5. Background
> I have an Oozie workflow on HDFS:
> {code}
> example_workflow
> ├── job.properties
> ├── lib
> │   ├── components
> │   │   ├── sub-component.sh
> │   │   └── subsub
> │   │       └── subsub.sh
> │   ├── main.sh
> │   └── sub.sh
> └── workflow.xml
> {code}
> Executed the workflow; then made some changes in {{subsub.sh}}. Replaced the file on HDFS. When I re-ran the workflow, DistributedCache did not notice the changes as the timestamp on the {{components}} directory did not change. As a result, the old script was materialized.
> This behaviour might be related to [determineTimestamps() |https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/trunk/hadoop-mapreduce-project/hadoop-mapreduce-client/hadoop-mapreduce-client-core/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/mapreduce/filecache/ClientDistributedCacheManager.java#L84].
> In order to use the new script during workflow execution, I had to update the whole {{components}} directory.
> h6. Some more info:
> In Oozie, [DistributedCache.addCacheFile() |https://github.com/apache/oozie/blob/master/core/src/main/java/org/apache/oozie/action/hadoop/JavaActionExecutor.java#L625] is used to add files to the distributed cache.
