title: Changing of tmp directory not working in Spark
body: <p>I wanted to change the tmp directory used by spark, so I had something like that in my spark-submit.</p>
  
  <pre><code> spark-submit &lt;other parameters&gt; --conf "spark.local.dir=&lt;somedirectory&gt;" &lt;other parameters&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I am noticing that it has not effect, as Spark still uses the default tmp directory. What am I doing wrong here?</p>
  
  <p>By the way, I am using Spark's standalone cluster.</p>
