Step 2. Create storage locations for cluster files
In Google Cloud Storage, create locations to store staging, log, and initialization script files.
Create the following storage locations:
•A location that the cluster will use to store staging files at run time
•A location that the cluster will use to store log files for the advanced jobs that run on the cluster
•Optionally, a location where you can store initialization scripts that cluster nodes will run to install additional software on the cluster
The staging location stores temporary data, such as artifacts that the cluster distributes across cluster nodes and data that you preview in a mapping. Because an error might prevent a mapping from clearing preview data in the staging location, make sure that the users who have access to the staging location are permitted to view source data.
If you create any initialization scripts, add the scripts to the appropriate location.
