RFC-15 <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/HUDI/RFC+-+15%3A+HUDI+File+Listing+Improvements> made an attempt to boost performance of file listing by storing all file information in metadata table. As we are looking to build more infra around metadata table (RFC-27 for data skipping, etc), we felt having a synchronous design will make it more tighter and will avoid some of the corner cases with async approach.
So, we will write up a new RFC for file listing based on metadata table with synchronous updates. -- Regards, -Sivabalan
