> Iterator based listing methods already exist in {{FileContext}} for both
> simple listing and listing with locations. However, {{FileSystem}} lacks the
> former. From what I understand, it wasn't added to {{FileSystem}} because it
> was believed to be phased out soon. Since {{FileSystem}} is very well alive
> today and new features are getting added frequently, I propose adding an
> iterator based {{listStatus}} method. As for the name of the new method, we
> can use the same name used in {{FileContext}} : {{listStatusIterator()}}.
> It will be particularly useful when listing giant directories. Without this,
> the client has to build up a huge data structure and hold it in memory. We've
> seen client JVMs running out of memory because of this.
> Once this change is made, we can modify FsShell, etc. in followup jiras.
