Solr is probably simply using Java's temp directory, which you can redefine
by setting the java.io.tmpdir system property on the java command line or
using a system-specific environment variable.

Subject: How to change tmp directory
Hello all,
I came about an odd issue today when I wanted to add ca. 7M documents to my
Solr index: I got a SolrServerException telling me "No space left on
device". I had a look at the directory Solr (and its index) is installed in
and there is plenty space (~300GB).
I then noticed a file named "upload_457ee97b_1385125274b__8000_00000005.tmp"
had taken up all space of the machine's /tmp directory. The partition
holding the /tmp directory only has around 1GB of space and this file
already took nearly 800MB. I had a look at it and I realized that the file
contained the data I was adding to Solr in an XML format.
Is there a possibility to change the temporary directory for this action?
I use an Iterator<SolrInputDocument> with the HttpSolrServer's add(Iterator)
method for performance. So I can't just do commits from time to time.
Best regards,
Erik
