Hi Saad, May I ask which EMR version and cluster size you are using? Usually if you are using C4.4xlarge systems then they have high disk space as I understand.
The other thing that you can do is attach more disk space to the nodes, the option of which is available in the advanced cluster start option, and then change the cluster configuration LOCAL_DIRS to point to this new location and also the spark.local.dir configuration to point to this location (although this may be redundant). I prefer to use auto scaling and spot instances for these kind of migration activities. Best of luck.
