Matthias Boehm updated SYSTEMML-1518:
-------------------------------------
    Description: 
Both the new and old mlcontext APIs call 
{{OptimizerUtils.getUniqueTempFileName()}} to create HDFS filenames for 
registered input frames or matrices. This call simply forwards the request to 
{{Dag}} for consistency with hdfs filenames of intermediates and to ensure 
isolation with regard to concurrently running scripts (from different client 
processes on a shared cluster).

However, for this code path the internal scratch space configuration is always 
uninitialized leading to corrupt filenames such as 
{{/_p1234_1.2.345.678//_t0/temp1_0}}. The missing scratch_space prefix is 
problematic because the remainder is interpreted as an absolute file path, 
often leading to permission issues because typical users are not granted write 
access on HFDS root.

Note that this issue might not be immediately visible in all scenarios because 
it only affects input variables that are exported to HDFS (e.g., during guarded 
collect or as specific inputs to remote parfor).
