> Affects Versions: 0.5
> Environment: Linux x86_64 2.6.18, Mac OS 10.6 64-bit, Hadoop 0.20.2,
> Java 1.6
> Reporter: Jonathan Traupman

> Original Estimate: 4h
> Remaining Estimate: 4h
>
> The directories created during the times() and timesSquared() methods in
> DistributedSparseMatrix leave behind a lot of cruft. While the individual
> files are tagged with deleteOnExit, but the directories are not. Also, but
> not deleting them until JVM exit, a job that does repeated matrix/vector
> multiplies, like DistributedLanczosSolver, creates a lot of temp files that
> stick around for the whole run, even though the results they contain are read
> once and then never again.
> Our cluster admins enforce both file count and size quotas, so since 5 temp
> files/directories are created on each iteration of DistributedLanczosSolver,
> we're constantly bumping into the quota with large SVDs.
