This property can be used to allow usage of multiple disks for indexing. This property is recommended in place of and takes precedence over `${druid.indexer.task.baseTaskDir}`.

This value is treated symmetrically across all directories, that is, if this is 500 GB and there are 3 `baseTaskDirs`, then each of those task directories is assumed to allow for 500 GB to be used and a total of 1.5 TB will potentially be available across all tasks.
