Question:

If I run several MRC jobs simultaneously, is their view of files consistent?

Answer:

Each MRC job has the option whether or not to maintain a cache on the target node. When a cache is maintained, changes made by one job may take time until seen by other jobs, but when caching is not used, there is full file-consistency. It is also possible to cache some directories and not others.
