Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HADOOP-6532:
------------------------------------------------
> Is it possible to keep the Path object, but avoid materializing the fields?
Yes, we only have to get rid of Path.uri.
> Another alternative might be to have Path, like String, contain only a
> char[]....
That's correct. char[] is better than String.
> Path objects are heavy

> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: fs
> Reporter: Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE

>
> 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.
