-------------------------------
Thanks [~kihwal]! I will update the patch with new unit tests.
> Create API and command-line argument to get quota without need to get file

> On large directory structures it takes significant time to iterate through
> the file and directory counts recursively to get a complete ContentSummary.
> When you want to just check for the quota on a higher level directory it
> would be good to have an option to skip the file and directory counts.
> Moreover, currently one can only check the quota if you have access to all
> the directories underneath. For example, if I have a large home directory
> under /user/joep and I host some files for another user in a sub-directory,
> the moment they create an unreadable sub-directory under my home I can no
> longer check what my quota is. Understood that I cannot check the current
> file counts unless I can iterate through all the usage, but for
> administrative purposes it is nice to be able to get the current quota
> setting on a directory without the need to iterate through and run into
> permission issues on sub-directories.
