             Summary: Less wasteful ArtifactStagingService
                 Key: BEAM-4778
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-4778
             Project: Beam
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: runner-core
            Reporter: Eugene Kirpichov
            Assignee: Ryan Williams


[https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/master/runners/java-fn-execution/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/runners/fnexecution/artifact/BeamFileSystemArtifactStagingService.java]
 is the main implementation of ArtifactStagingService.

It stages artifacts into a directory; and in practice the passed staging 
session token is such that the directory is different for every job. This leads 
to 2 issues:
 * It doesn't get cleaned up when the job finishes or even when the JobService 
shuts down, so we have disk space leaks if running a lot of jobs (e.g. a suite 
of ValidatesRunner tests)
 * We repeatedly re-stage the same artifacts. Instead, ideally, we should 
identify that some artifacts don't need to be staged - based on knowing their 
md5. The artifact staging protocol has rudimentary support for this but may 
need to be modified.
