The temp directory (located by default at /tmp) is used to store files temporarily during Stardog operations. The most common usage is for intermediate query results and/or triples that are being loaded/removed.
See more here.
How much storage do I need for the tmp directory?
In the most extreme case, it should be as big as the biggest database you might want to clear; however, it's unlikely it would need to get that large.
Can I change where the temp directory is located?
The default location is the value of java.io.tmpdir. You can change the location by editing that value if you're running Stardog on-prem, or by editing STARDOG_TMP_PATH if you're using our helm charts (enterprise customers only). Either way, the stardog user on your filesystem needs read and write permissions to it.
