whoosh_HG_INDEX_jwmHIS.run file in /tmp

[cdsm...@gmail.com]

Hello,

When we run a reindex on our CentOS Linux server, we are finding it creates files like these below in the /tmp directory.

-rw------- 1 rhodecode rhodecode 57481268 Aug  1 10:47 whoosh_HG_INDEX_jwmHIS.run

-rw------- 1 rhodecode rhodecode 57481268 Aug  1 10:47 whoosh_HG_INDEX_jwmHIS.run

-rw------- 1 rhodecode rhodecode 57415531 Aug  1 10:52 whoosh_HG_INDEX_o9xsBc.run

What are these files?  Are they needed after indexing is done?  Can we redirect them to point to a different location other than /tmp?  We are running the reindex from the GUI tool.  It didn't seem to matter if we build from scratch or not when reindexing.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Mike

I've temporarily fixed the issue by putting this in a bash script

export TMPDIR=/path/to/new/tmp/directory

/opt/rhodecode-venv/bin/paster make-index /opt/rhodecode/production.ini

Now the temp files are being created in the directory path in my TMPDIR logical.   I've created an enhancement here https://bitbucket.org/marcinkuzminski/rhodecode/issue/885/whoosh-index-tmp-files-going-to-tmp  so we can have something in production.ini file to set this instead of resorting to bash scripts.
