> TrackerDistributedCacheManager issues a number of redundant getFileStatus
> calls when determining the timestamps and visibilities of files in the
> distributed cache. 300 distributed cache files deep in the directory
> structure can hammer HDFS with a couple thousand requests.
> A couple optimizations can reduce this load:
> 1. determineTimestamps and determineCacheVisibilities both call getFileStatus
> on every file. We could cache the results of the former and use them for the
> latter.
> 2. determineCacheVisibilities needs to check that all ancestor directories of
> each file have execute permissions for everyone. This currently entails a
> getFileStatus on each ancestor directory for each file. The results of these
> getFileStatus calls could be cached as well.
