Research direction
Read applications/DeepSpeed-Chat/dschat/utils/data/data_utils.py around line 301 and inspect how the shared-disk condition controls data cache building. Verify the behavior when a task runs across multiple nodes, then confirm that the cache is not redundantly built on other nodes while preserving correct behavior for non-shared storage.
