Good morning.

We have detected that our Kylin installation has plenty temporary files
located at $KYLIN_HOME/tomcat/temp. Now, around 90GB after two months
running.

Inside this folder, there is a "safeToDelete.tmp" file, so we assumed we
could flush the contents of this folder safely. However, this was not true.
As soon as we delete contents older than 2 days, a lot of errors appeared
in kylin.log complaining about missing files, in particular those of type:

Message: java.io.FileNotFoundException:
/opt/kylin/current/bin/../tomcat/temp/olap_model_4116748333625199860.json
(No such file or directory)


We immediately restored all old stuff and service became operational again.
Tomcat temp folder is fully of files like these:

So, question is, how do we deal with this folder cleanup?
Can we delete all kylin_jobmetadataXXXXXX folders but maintain
olap_modem_XXXXX.json files?
Why a safeToDelete.tmp exists here? It only contributes to create confusion
about safe cleanup of this folder contents.

Thank you!
