Marco Nicosia commented on HADOOP-2735:
---------------------------------------

Any consideration for Allen's comment?
aw> Although, it might be worthwhile setting the shell TMPDIR
aw> environment variable so that other languages have something
aw> they could use as well.

> On our cluster, we've seen Pig(http://incubator.apache.org/pig/) filling up the /tmp and failing. 
> (also inefficient since all the local tasks were spilling to the  same disk)
> Pig is simply using java api createTempFile, 
> http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/io/File.html#createTempFile(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String,%20java.io.File
> Can we add -Djava.io.tmpdir="./tmp" somewhere ?
> so that, 
> 1) Tasks can utilize all disks when using tmp
> 2) Any undeleted tmp files will be deleted by the tasktracker when task(job?) is done.
> The easiest way is to set it inside mapred.child.java.opts in the config, but this can be overwritten if the users set their own task heapsize.
