hadoop - Files not stored in Distributed Cache -

i using distributedcache. there no files in cache after execution of code. have referred other similar questions answers not solve issue.

please find code below:

   configuration conf = new configuration();    job job1 = new job(conf, "distributed cache");    configuration conf1 = job1.getconfiguration();    distributedcache.addcachefile(new path("file").touri(), conf1);    system.out.println("distributed cache file "+distributedcache.getlocalcachefiles(conf1)); 

this gives null..

the same thing when given inside mapper gives null hence. please let me know suggestions.

thanks

try getcachefiles() instead of getlocalcachefiles()
