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. > Performance improvement for liststatus on directories in hadoop archives. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-6467 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6467 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Mahadev konar > Assignee: Mahadev konar > Fix For: 0.22.0 > > Attachments: Archives_performance.docx > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
