After https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1860 the cleaner won't clean up directories left by running executors.

Spark has that configuration to delete temp files time to time.

I have noticed a large number of temporary files have been stored here and are not cleaned up. The only solution I can think of is to run some sort of cron job to delete files older than a few days. I am currently using a mixture of standalone and YARN spark builds.
