Tim Armstrong commented on IMPALA-9828:
---------------------------------------

[~jbapple] yeah exactly - a lot of cloud instances have fairly constrained 
local storage so this is a way to allow queries to run to completion when local 
storage is exhausted. 

Mounting additional non-local block storage like EBS is an alternative, but 
then you either need to pre-provision the volumes (requires planning and/or 
gets expensive) or come up with some kind of dynamic provisioning scheme 
(complex, not portable across cloud providers, etc).

BTW, this approach isn't really limited to S3, it could be extended to any 
other storage with a HDFS connector.
