Lukas Waldmann commented on HADOOP-14444:
-----------------------------------------
I understand your point. On another hand i got an environment where transfer
was killed by the equipment after some timeout. Meaning the transfer was never
completed for long files. Only way how to complete the transfer is to use seek.
So I agree that seek should be used responsibly but functionality as such is
necessary

> Current implementation of FTP and SFTP filesystems have severe limitations
> and performance issues when dealing with high number of files. Mine patch
> solve those issues and integrate both filesystems such a way that most of the
> core functionality is common for both and therefore simplifying the
> maintainability.
> The core features:
> * Support for HTTP/SOCKS proxies
> * Support for passive FTP
> * Support of connection pooling - new connection is not created for every
> single command but reused from the pool.
> For huge number of files it shows order of magnitude performance improvement
> over not pooled connections.
> * Caching of directory trees. For ftp you always need to list whole directory
> whenever you ask information about particular file.
> Again for huge number of files it shows order of magnitude performance
> improvement over not cached connections.
> * Support of keep alive (NOOP) messages to avoid connection drops
> * Support for Unix style or regexp wildcard glob - useful for listing a
> particular files across whole directory tree
> * Support for reestablishing broken ftp data transfers - can happen
> surprisingly often
