> Project: Hadoop

> Affects Versions: 0.15.0
> Reporter: Christian Kunz
> Assignee: Christian Kunz
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 0.16.0

>
> hdfsListDirectory makes one rpc call using deprecated
> fs.FileSystem.listPaths, and then two rpc calls for every entry in the
> returned array. When running a job with more than 3000 mappers each running a
> pipes application using libhdfs to scan a dfs directory with about 100-200
> entries, this results in about 1M rpc calls to the namenode server
> overwhelming it.
> hdfsListDirectory should call fs.FileSystem.listStatus instead.
> I will submit a patch.
