             Summary: Introducing gcpTempLocation that default to tempLocation
                 Key: BEAM-430
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-430
             Project: Beam
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Pei He
            Assignee: Pei He
            Priority: Minor


Currently, DataflowPipelineOptions.stagingLocation default to tempLocation. And, it requires tempLocation to be a gcs path.
Another case is BigQueryIO uses tempLocation and also requires it to be on gcs.
So, users cannot set tempLocation to a non-gcs path with DataflowRunner or BigQueryIO.

However, tempLocation could be on any file system. For example, WordCount defaults to output to tempLocation.

The proposal is to add gcpTempLocation. And, it defaults to tempLocation if tempLocation is a gcs path.
StagingLocation and BigQueryIO will use gcpTempLocation by default.
