> When we localize a file into a node's cache, it's installed in a directory
> whose subroot is a random {{long}} . These {{long}} s all sit in a single
> flat directory [per disk, per cluster node]. When the cached file is no
> longer needed, its reference count becomes zero in a tracking data structure.
> The file then becomes eligible for deletion when the total amount of space
> occupied by cached files exceeds 10G [by default] or the total number of such
> files exceeds 10K.
> However, when we delete a cached file, we don't delete the directory that
> contains it; this importantly includes the elements of the flat directory,
> which then accumulate until they reach a system limit, 32K in some cases, and
> then the node stops working.
> We need to delete the flat directory when we delete the localized cache file
> it contains.
