Re: Spark temp dir (spark.local.dir)

[Guillaume Pitel]

I'm not 100% sure but I think it goes like this : spark.local.dir can and should be set both on the executors and on the driver (if the driver broadcast variables, the files will be stored in this directory) the SPARK_WORKER_DIR is where the jars and the log output of the executors is placed (default $SPARK_HOME/work/) and it should be cleaned regularly In $SPARK_HOME/logs are found the logs of the workers and master Guillaume Hi, I'm confused about the -Dspark.local.dir and SPARK_WORKER_DIR(--work-dir). What's the difference? I have set -Dspark.local.dir for all my worker nodes but I'm still seeing directories being created in /tmp when the job is running. I have also tried setting -Dspark.local.dir when I run the application.
