Uma Maheswara Rao G commented on HDFS-2436:
-------------------------------------------
Thanks Nicholas, I just filed the JIRA HDFS-2712.
Goal for that JIRA is to move the atime and mtime fields down to iNodeFile as
this will save the memory consumption with dirs and also support setTimes
access only for directories. We can continue the further discussion in that
JIRA.
Thanks
