> Currently Artemis creates the {{tmp}} directory as a child of {{$ARTEMIS_INSTANCE}}.  There is no mechanism to override the location so the temporary files are written elsewhere in the filesystem.
> Whilst Artemis does take steps to delete the temporary files it has created as it shuts-down, this relies on the JVM's shutdown hooks firing correctly.  If the JVM or container crashes or aborts, temporary files accumulate.  Operator intervention would then be required to manually delete the files, which is problematic for use-cases where Artemis is deployed as part of service (as for http://enmasse.io).
> It would be desirable to be able to separate the temporary files from the other files that represent the Broker's state at a filesystem level.   This would allow the user of Artemis to direct the temporary directory at an operating system defined temporary location that will be cleared no matter what.
