             Summary: Allow configuring checkpoint dir, filenames
                 Key: SPARK-11459
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-11459
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Spark Core
    Affects Versions: 1.5.1
            Reporter: Ryan Williams


I frequently want to persist some RDDs to disk and choose the names of the 
files that they are saved as.

Currently, the {{RDD.checkpoint}} flow [writes to a directory with a UUID in 
its 
name|https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/v1.5.1/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/SparkContext.scala#L2050],
 and the file is [always named after the RDD's 
ID|https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/v1.5.1/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/rdd/ReliableRDDCheckpointData.scala#L96].

Is there any reason not to allow the user to e.g. pass a string to 
{{RDD.checkpoint}} that will set the location that the RDD is checkpointed to?
