Vertica uses a default TEMP location created during installation for temporary operations. If additional temporary space is needed, users can configure either S3-based or disk-based TEMP storage to improve performance and scalability.
Environment
- Vertica Analytics Platform
- TEMP storage configuration
- S3-compatible object storage (optional)
- Local disk storage
Situation
A user needs more TEMP space for Vertica operations beyond what is available in the default depot/temp location. Vertica supports flexible TEMP storage options to meet this need.
Cause
The default TEMP location may become insufficient for large workloads or concurrent operations. Vertica allows users to configure additional TEMP locations to avoid performance bottlenecks or failures due to limited space.
