> We are seeing that when we restart a tasktracker, it tries to recursively 
> delete all the file in the distributed cache. It invoked 
> FileUtil.fullyDelete() which is very very slow. This means that the 
> TaskTracker cannot join the cluster for an extended period of time (upto 2 
> hours for us). The problem is acute if the number of files in a distributed 
> cache is a few-thousands.
