Sean Owen commented on SPARK-1529:
----------------------------------

OK, but, why do these files *have* to go on a non-local disk? It sounds like 
you're saying Spark doesn't work at all on MapR right now, but that can't be 
the case. They *can* go on a non-local disk, I'm sure. What's the value of 
that, given that Spark is transporting the files itself?

Still, as you say, this proprietary setup works already through the java.io+NFS 
and HDFS APIs, with no change. If it's just not as fast, is that a problem that 
Spark should be solving? Just don't do it. Or it's up to the vendor to optimize.

> In some environments, like with MapR, local volumes are accessed through the 
> Hadoop filesystem interface. We should allow setting spark.local.dir to a 
> Hadoop filesystem location.
