Amanda Moran commented on TRAFODION-2146: ----------------------------------------- Actually, this is NOT set at install time... but there is a request for the installer to add this as a configurable option. I have been resistant to this because I feel that this is an advanced setting. This sounds much preferred to this being prompted for during install time. +1 > Use of CQD to set scratch directory locations > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: TRAFODION-2146 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRAFODION-2146 > Project: Apache Trafodion > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: foundation, sql-exe > Reporter: Sandhya Sundaresan > Assignee: Sandhya Sundaresan > > Allow a CQD specification to override the env settings for STFS locations. > Currently the scratch directory locations and set at installtion time . The > STFS layer that manages the scratch file creation reads the envvar in ms.env > to determine where to create the scratch files. > Now we allow a CQD to be specified that will override the envvar setting. If > the CQD is not set (empty) , the envvar setting will work. This will give the > user some flexibility to change scratch directory locations. The requirement > is that the directoryies MUST exists on every node and that Trafodion user > will need permissions to write to those directories. If not an error will be > returned when a query invliving sort/hash overflow is executed. . -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
