>
> FileInputFormat (both mapreduce and mapred implementations) use recursive
> listing while calculating splits. They however do this by doing listing level
> by level. That means to discover files in /foo/bar means they do listing at
> /foo/bar first to get the immediate children, then make the same call on all
> immediate children for /foo/bar to discover their immediate children and so
> on. This doesn't scale well for object store based fs implementations like s3
> and swift because every listStatus call ends up being a webservice call to
> backend. In cases where large number of files are considered for input, this
> makes getSplits() call slow.
> This patch adds a new set of recursive list apis that gives opportunity to
> the fs implementations to optimize. The behavior remains the same for other
> implementations (that is a default implementation is provided for other fs so
> they don't have to implement anything new). However for objectstore based fs
> implementations it provides a simple change to include recursive flag as true
> (as shown in the patch) to improve listing performance.
