Hi,

I have a list (couple of thousands text lines) that I need to use in my map function. I read this article about broadcasting variables  or using distributed cache however I need to update this list from time to time, and if I understood correctly it is not possible on broadcast or cache without restarting the job. Is there idiomatic way to achieve this? A db seems to be an overkill for that and I do want to be cheap on io/network calls as much as possible.

Cheers 

Avi
