@aarondav @YanTangZhai I think that this patch introduced a bug in
`Utils.getLocalDir()`. Currently, that function assumes that all of the
directories in `spark.local.dir` exist and returns the first directory from
that list:
```scala
/**
* Get a temporary directory using Spark's spark.local.dir property, if
set. This will always
* return a single directory, even though the spark.local.dir property
might be a list of
* multiple paths.
*/
def getLocalDir(conf: SparkConf): String = {
conf.get("spark.local.dir",
System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir")).split(',')(0)
}
```
After this patch, the first directory might be missing, which can lead to
confusing errors when we try to create files in it.
How should we fix this? Maybe have the disk manager be the authoritative
source of local directories and update all other code to use it rather than the
raw `spark.local.dir` property?
