Hong Tang commented on HADOOP-6467:
-----------------------------------

Some general comments on the document:
- Should mention that the outputDirectory must end with ".har".
- Can we do away with the file names for a directory in the index file now that 
all files under the same directory should be clustered in a contiguous region 
in the index file?
- How is FileStatus serialized? Assuming you use FileStatus.Writable, then we 
need to make sure that FileStatus serialization format being kept stable.
- Should explicitly mention that forward compatibility is not maintained.

> A liststatus call on a directory in hadoop archives leads to ( 2* number of 
> files in directory) open calls to the namenode. This is very sub optimal and 
> needs to be fixed to make it performant enough to be used on a daily basis.
