QQ: What needs to be done to write local /tmp files in hdfs /tmp

avatar

QQ:

Currently we have very less space for /tmp in local and wanted to write the files in HDFS /tmp instead of local /tmp.

Can you suggest me simple solution?

"HDFS /tmp directory mainly used as a temporary storage during mapreduce operation. Mapreduce artifacts, intermediate data etc will be kept under this directory." Also this question has already been answered here:
