Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-15209:
-----------------------------------------
FWIW, I just timed a (remote) delete of 8000 files from a to-be-deleted bucket,
using fs -rm -r. 2h even with bulk list & delete. Wonder if we should do some
more shuffling there
> DistCp to eliminate needless deletion of files under already-deleted
> directories

> DistCP issues a delete(file) request even if is underneath an already deleted
> directory. This generates needless load on filesystems/object stores, and, if
> the store throttles delete, can dramatically slow down the delete operation.
> If the distcp delete operation can build a history of deleted directories,
> then it will know when it does not need to issue those deletes.
> Care is needed here to make sure that whatever structure is created does not
> overload the heap of the process.
