Hello, It looks like the HDFS caching does not work well. The cached log file is around 200MB. The hadoop cluster has 3 nodes, each has 4GB memory. -bash-4.1$ hdfs cacheadmin -addPool wptest1 Successfully added cache pool wptest1. -bash-4.1$ /hadoop/hadoop-2.3.0/bin/hdfs cacheadmin -listPools Found 1 result. NAME OWNER GROUP MODE LIMIT MAXTTL wptest1 hdfs hdfs rwxr-xr-x unlimited never -bash-4.1$ hdfs cacheadmin -addDirective -path hadoop003.log -pool wptest1 Added cache directive 1 -bash-4.1$ time /hadoop/hadoop-2.3.0/bin/hadoop fs -tail hadoop003.log real 0m2.796s user 0m4.263s sys 0m0.203s -bash-4.1$ time /hadoop/hadoop-2.3.0/bin/hadoop fs -tail hadoop003.log real 0m3.050s user 0m4.176s sys 0m0.192s It is weird that the cache status shows 0 byte cached:-bash-4.1$ /hadoop/hadoop-2.3.0/bin/hdfs cacheadmin -listDirectives -stats -path hadoop003.log -pool wptest1 Found 1 entry ID POOL REPL EXPIRY PATH BYTES_NEEDED BYTES_CACHED FILES_NEEDED FILES_CACHED 1 wptest1 1 never /user/hdfs/hadoop003.log 209715206 0 1 0 -bash-4.1$ file /hadoop/hadoop-2.3.0/lib/native/libhadoop.so.1.0.0 /hadoop/hadoop-2.3.0/lib/native/libhadoop.so.1.0.0: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, not stripped I also tried the word count example with the same file. The execution time is always 40 seconds. (The map/reduce job without cache is 42 seconds) Is there anything wrong? Thanks a lot
