Joe Kelley created HADOOP-10309: ----------------------------------- Summary: S3 block filesystem should more aggressively delete temporary files Key: HADOOP-10309 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10309 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Improvement Components: fs/s3 Reporter: Joe Kelley Priority: Minor
The S3 FileSystem reading implementation downloads block files into a configurable temporary directory. deleteOnExit() is called on these files, so they are deleted when the JVM exits. However, JVM reuse can lead to JVMs that stick around for a very long time. This can cause these temporary files to build up indefinitely and, in the worst case, fill up the local directory. After a block file has been read, there is no reason to keep it around. It should be deleted. Writing to the S3 FileSystem already has this behavior; after a temporary block file is written and uploaded to S3, it is deleted immediately; there is no need to wait for the JVM to exit. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
