This will depend on if you're using the local job runner (mapred.job.tracker=local) or if you're running in pseudo-distributed mode (i.e. mapred.job.tracker=localhost:8021 or =mynode.mydomain.com:8021). The distributed cache does NOT work in local mode, only pseudo-distributed and fully distributed modes.
Using the distributed cache in configure() is fine, otherwise.
