Sean Owen commented on SPARK-7439:
----------------------------------
I expect these won't be removed if the JVM fails abruptly, but it does not
depend on {{close()}} as it's a shutdown hook. Or, it shouldn't. I don't think
it's worth the complexity to go find and delete old dirs later, as they're just
directories, and it should only come up in a hard failure case.
So I'm not sure what to do about this one, as the dirs are already scheduled
for deletion on shutdown.
> Should delete temporary local directories
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-7439
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-7439
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Block Manager
> Affects Versions: 1.3.1
> Environment: Windows 7, CentOS 6.6
> Reporter: Taeyun Kim
> Priority: Minor
>
> Spark does not delete temporary local directories.
> After a spark program completes, there are 3 temporary directories remain in
> the temp directory. The directory names are like this:
> spark-2e389487-40cc-4a82-a5c7-353c0feefbb7
> The directories are empty.
> They are created every time the Spark program runs. So the number of files
> and directories keeps growing.
> I've traced the spark source code.
> The module methods that create the 3 'temp' directories are as follows:
> * DiskBlockManager.createLocalDirs
> * HttpFileServer.initialize
> * SparkEnv.sparkFilesDir
> They (eventually) call Utils.getOrCreateLocalRootDirs and then
> Utils.createDirectory, which intentionally does NOT mark the directory for
> automatic deletion.
> The comment of createDirectory method says: "The directory is guaranteed to
> be newly created, and is not marked for automatic deletion."
> But since the directories does not hold useful data after the program
> completes, they should be deleted if possible.
