> I noticed a few issues with how temp directories are created and deleted:
> *Minor*
> * Guava's {{Files.createTempDir()}} plus {{File.deleteOnExit()}} is used in 
> many tests to make a temp dir, but {{Utils.createTempDir()}} seems to be the 
> standard Spark mechanism
> * Call to {{File.deleteOnExit()}} could be pushed into 
> {{Utils.createTempDir()}} as well, along with this replacement.
> * _I messed up the message in an exception in {{Utils}} in SPARK-3794; fixed 
> here_
> *Bit Less Minor*
> * {{Utils.deleteRecursively()}} fails immediately if any {{IOException}} 
> occurs, instead of trying to delete any remaining files and subdirectories. 
> I've observed this leave temp dirs around. I suggest changing it to continue 
> in the face of an exception and throw one of the possibly several exceptions 
> that occur at the end.
> * {{Utils.createTempDir()}} will add a JVM shutdown hook every time the 
> method is called. Even if the subdir is the parent of another parent dir, 
> since this check is inside the hook. However {{Utils}} manages a set of all 
> dirs to delete on shutdown already, called {{shutdownDeletePaths}}. A single 
> hook can be registered to delete all of these on exit. This is how Tachyon 
> temp paths are cleaned up in {{TachyonBlockManager}}.
> I noticed a few other things that might be changed but wanted to ask first:
> * Shouldn't the set of dirs to delete be {{File}}, not just {{String}} paths?
> * {{Utils}} manages the set of {{TachyonFile}} that have been registered for 
> deletion, but the shutdown hook is managed in {{TachyonBlockManager}}. Should 
> this logic not live together, and not in {{Utils}}? it's more specific to 
> Tachyon, and looks a slight bit odd to import in such a generic place.
