Ajay Sachdev created HDFS-13398: ----------------------------------- Summary: Hdfs recursive listing operation is very slow Key: HDFS-13398 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-13398 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Components: hdfs Affects Versions: 2.7.1 Environment: HCFS file system where HDP 2.6.1 is connected to ECS (Object Store). Reporter: Ajay Sachdev Fix For: 2.7.1
The hdfs dfs -ls -R command is sequential in nature and is very slow for a HCFS system. We have seen around 6 mins for 40K directory/files structure. The proposal is to use multithreading approach to speed up recursive list, du and count operations. We have tried a ForkJoinPool implementation to improve performance for recursive listing operation. [https://github.com/jasoncwik/hadoop-release/tree/parallel-fs-cli] commit id : 82387c8cd76c2e2761bd7f651122f83d45ae8876 Another implementation is to use Java Executor Service to improve performance to run listing operation in multiple threads in parallel. This has significantly reduced the time to 40 secs from 6 mins. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: hdfs-dev-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: hdfs-dev-h...@hadoop.apache.org
