Sean Owen commented on MAHOUT-814:
----------------------------------
Your analysis is completely correct. java.io.tmpdir is more than that -- it's
the definition of "writable temp space" for Java itself. There should be
nothing wrong with using this; in fact, it's the only reliable temp space
available.
1. If it's not writable, that's a problem with the host machine. As you might
have noticed, Jenkins seems to be quite flaky; a few times a week it will fail
for some internal machine-specific reason.
2. However I too am not sure that's the issue; it could still be a clash
somehow. Can you change the job that uses q-temp.seq to stash it in a file that
maybe includes the timestamp? like q-temp-125095095090.seq. In general I think
this is a good strategy, and why the test framework does exactly this.
It's either nothing for us to fix (1), or, I think, a case of making temp files
more unique (2). You shouldn't have to do anything more complex.
