What is optimal size of a file for distributed cache?..

Answer / Himansh Sagar

The optimal size of a file for distributed cache in MapReduce depends on various factors such as the size of the cluster, network bandwidth, and the job being executed. However, a general guideline is to keep the size of files small enough so that they can fit into memory for fast access, but large enough to reduce the number of shuffles required during the MapReduce job.
