Bill Au commented on SOLR-207:
------------------------------

I confirmed that find -maxdepth does not work on Solaris.  So it is back to ls. 
 We should be OK as long as we don't use any wildcard that causes expansion.

> snapinstaller (and snappuller) do the following to find the latest snapshot:
> name=`find ${data_dir} -name snapshot.* -print|grep -v wip|sort -r|head -1`
> This recurses into all of the snapshot directories, doing much more disk-io 
> than is necessary.
> I think it is the cause of bloated kernel memory usage we have seen on some 
> of our Linux boxes, caused
> by kernel dentry and inode caches.   Those caches compete with buffer cache 
> (caching the actual data of the index)
> and can thus decrease performance.
