             Summary: Throw "early" exception when duplicate files or archives are found in distributed cache
                 Key: MAPREDUCE-4568
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4568
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Mohammad Kamrul Islam


According to #MAPREDUCE-4549, Hadoop 2.x throws exception if duplicates found in cacheFiles or cacheArchives. The exception  throws during job submission.

This JIRA is to throw the exception ==early== when it is first added to the Distributed Cache through addCacheFile or addFileToClassPath.

It will help the client to decide whether to fail-fast or continue w/o the duplicated entries.

Alternatively, Hadoop could provide a knob where user will choose whether to throw error( coming behavior) or silently ignore (old behavior).
