Redmine Issue: 9593, https://pulp.plan.io/issues/9593
There are cases when downloaded content does not need to be saved on a filesystem.
It's just an additional overhead for some workflows. When data is very small, used immediately or saved to DB, no bits on a file system are needed.
E.g. Container signatures. They are small (under 1KB) and are parsed and saved in DB.
