Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-2566: -------------------------------------- > What do you want to avoid? exactly, after talking to you it looks more like there isn't anything we can avoid. My initial thought was we could avoid the final getStatus() loop. Thanks. > need FileSystem#globStatus method > --------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-2566 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2566 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: fs > Reporter: Doug Cutting > Assignee: Hairong Kuang > Fix For: 0.16.0 > > Attachments: globStatus.patch, globStatus1.patch > > > To remove the cache of FileStatus in DFSPath (HADOOP-2565) without hurting > performance, we must use file enumeration APIs that return FileStatus[] > rather than Path[]. Currently we have FileSystem#globPaths(), but that > method should be deprecated and replaced with a FileSystem#globStatus(). > We need to deprecate FileSystem#globPaths() in 0.16 in order to remove the > cache in 0.17. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
