---------------------------------------
We can use a BlockingQueue to make the patch simpler.
> Faster directory traversal for raid node

> The RaidNode currently iterates over the directory structure to figure out
> which files to RAID. With millions of files, this can take a long time -
> especially if some files are already RAIDed and the RaidNode needs to look at
> parity files / parity file HARs to determine if the file needs to be RAIDed.
> The directory traversal is encapsulated inside the class DirectoryTraversal,
> which examines one file at a time, using the caller's thread.
> My proposal is to make this multi-threaded as follows:
> * use a pool of threads inside DirectoryTraversal
> * The caller's thread is used to retrieve directories, and each new
> directory is assigned to a thread in the pool. The worker thread examines all
> the files the directory.
> * If there sub-directories, those are added back as workitems to the pool.
