---------------------------------------
Summary: New implementation of ftp and sftp filesystems
Key: HADOOP-14444
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-14444
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: fs
Reporter: Lukas Waldmann
Current implementation of FTP and SFTP filesystems have severe limitations and
performance issues when dealing with high number of files. Mine patch solve
those issues and integrate both filesystems such a way that most of the core
functionality is common for both and therefore simplifying the maintainability.
The core features:
* Support for HTTP/SOCKS proxies
* Support for passive FTP
* Support of connection pooling - new connection is not created for every
single command but reused from the pool.
For huge number of files it shows order of magnitude performance improvement
over not pooled connections.
* Caching of directory trees. For ftp you always need to list whole directory
whenever you ask information about particular file.
Again for huge number of files it shows order of magnitude performance
improvement over not cached connections.
* Support of keep alive (NOOP) messages to avoid connection drops
* Support for Unix style or regexp wildcard glob - useful for listing a
particular files across whole directory tree
* Support for reestablishing broken ftp data transfers - can happen
surprisingly often
