> Key: SPARK-5836
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-5836
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation
> Reporter: Tomasz Dudziak
> Assignee: Ilya Ganelin
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.3.1, 1.4.0
>
>
> We recently learnt the hard way (in a prod system) that Spark by default does
> not delete its temporary files until it is stopped. WIthin a relatively short
> time span of heavy Spark use the disk of our prod machine filled up
> completely because of multiple shuffle files written to it. We think there
> should be better documentation around the fact that after a job is finished
> it leaves a lot of rubbish behind so that this does not come as a surprise.
> Probably a good place to highlight that fact would be the documentation of
> {{spark.local.dir}} property, which controls where Spark temporary files are
> written.
