During load testing of data ingestion last night on the 7.2 edition we notice the use of /tmp

Example of what type of files we have seen:

For the time being, we have increased the /tmp directory size.
Our sysadmin was asking if it was possible to change this location via an environmental variable.

Hey there --

Until we come up with a better solution, your sysadmin might use this environment variable:

JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.io.tmpdir=/app_search_tmp_dir"

And welcome to the community, Dustin! :tada:
