Hong Tang commented on HADOOP-6532:
-----------------------------------
Is it possible to keep the Path object, but avoid materializing the fields?
> Path objects are heavy
> ----------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-6532
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6532
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: fs
> Reporter: Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE
> Attachments: Fun.java
>
>
> Compared with java.lang.String, org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path is much heavier
> since it contains URI. The size of a Path is roughly 3 times of a String.
> See some numbers in the comments.
> A major impact of decreasing Path size is allowing ls, archive, etc. on
> directories with many files.
