Olga Natkovich commented on HADOOP-2892:
----------------------------------------
In my project, Pig, some queries cause a chain of M-R jobs to be ran with only
the final results being meaningful. It would be nice if we could write those
intermediate results into the location that is managed by hadoop and is
automatically removed upon the chain completion.
This is just one of the examples. In general, an application might need to
generate temp data for a variety of reasons and providing a way to
automatically reclaim the space when the data is no longer needed is good for
users as well as the system.

> It would be greate if hadoop can provide temp space for applications to use.
> This would be useful for any applications that chain M-R jobs, perform
> checkpoint and need to store some application specific temp results.
> DeleteOnExit for files and directories would be ideal.
