Hello ,  We are facing the same issue in our production environment. Is this creation of temp files is default behaviour and we can't change it ?. As we are running multiple concurrent sessions at same point of time we are facing multiple job failures with with this inodes issue . Is there any other solution we have instead of changing the path.    I just want to know in what cases the folder will be created . We are using hive cli, beeline , hadoop shell commands and sqoop process in our project.   We have observed that the default behaviour will delete the folders automatically as soon as the activity complete.but some times some folders are not getting deleted and occupying more inodes (12k) for folder structure.   Please help to make us understand .   Thanks in advance.   ...
