> Currently we limit the size of listStatus requests to a default of 1000 
> entries. This works fine except in the case of listLocatedStatus where the 
> location information can be quite large. As an example, a directory with 7000 
> entries, 4 blocks each, 3 way replication - a listLocatedStatus response is 
> over 1MB. This can chew up very large amounts of memory in the NN if lots of 
> clients try to do this simultaneously.
> Seems like it would be better if we also considered the amount of location 
> information being returned when deciding how many files to return.
> Patch will follow shortly.
