[jira] [Commented] (SPARK-7108) spark.local.dir is no longer honored in Standalone mode

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-7108?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14512649#comment-14512649 ] 

Marcelo Vanzin commented on SPARK-7108:
---------------------------------------

The way I read the documentation, {{spark.local.dir}} should only ever work on the driver, never on executors, since as the documentation says, that is managed by the cluster manager (regardless of whether you set SPARK_LOCAL_DIRS for your app or not - as the doc says, the cluster manager sets that!).

If {{spark.local.dir}} is not working for the driver, then there's a potential bug here.

> Prior to SPARK-4834, configuring spark.local.dir in the driver would affect the local directories created on the executor.  After this patch, executors will always ignore this setting in favor of directories read from {{SPARK_LOCAL_DIRS}}, which is set by the standalone worker based on the worker's own configuration and not the application configuration.
> This change impacts users who configured {{spark.local.dir}} only in their driver and not via their cluster's {{spark-defaults.conf}} or {{spark-env.sh}} files.  This is an atypical use-case, since the available local directories / disks are a property of the cluster and not the application, which probably explains why this issue has not been reported previously.
> The correct fix might be comment + documentation improvements.
