Thanks.
In order to spread I/O among multiple disks, should I assign a
comma-separated list of directories which are located on different disks to
"hadoop.tmp.dir"？
for example,
<property>
<name>hadoop.tmp.dir</name>
<value>/mnt/disk1/hadoop_tmp_dir,/mnt/disk2/hadoop_tmp_dir,/mnt/disk3/hadoop_tmp_dir</value>
</property>
