Yonger commented on HADOOP-13430:
---------------------------------

[[email protected]] I really can't see any optimization for getFileStatus in 
ticket [https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-13208] , with my 
understand, there is still exist 2 head +1 list operations in this function. 

And I scan the code where call getFileStatus, and found that in some place, we 
can know the path that input is a file or a directory, e.g. in create and open 
function, we don't need to check the path is a directory with calling 
getfileStatus, just consider the path is a file(according the implementation of 
Presto), thus when calling getFileStatus, we know the input path is a file so 
that it don't need to call getmetadata method again with suffix "/".

Totally, can we reduce the s3 call over network as possible by tell 
getFileStatus the path is a file or directory explicitly?

> Currently, S3AFileSystem.getFileStatus(Path f) sends up to 3 requests to S3 
> when pathToKey(f) = key = "foo/bar" is a directory:
> 1. HEAD key=foo/bar \[continue if not found]
> 2. HEAD key=foo/bar/ \[continue if not found]
> 3. LIST prefix=foo/bar/ delimiter=/ max-keys=1
> My experience (and generally true, I reckon) is that almost all directories 
> are nonempty directories without a "fake directory" file (e.g. "foo/bar/"). 
> Under this condition, request #2 is mostly unhelpful; it only slows down 
> getFileStatus. Therefore, I propose swapping the order of requests #2 and #3. 
> The swapped HEAD request will be skipped in practically all cases.
> Furthermore, when key = "foo/bar" is a nonempty directory that contains a 
> "fake directory" file (in addition to actual files), getFileStatus currently 
> returns an S3AFileStatus with isEmptyDirectory=true, which is wrong. Swapping 
> will fix this. The swapped LIST request will use max-keys=2 to determine 
> isEmptyDirectory correctly. (Removing the delimiter from the LIST request 
> should make the logic a little simpler than otherwise.)
> Note that key = "foo/bar/" has the same problem with isEmptyDirectory. To fix 
> it, I propose skipping request #1 when key ends with "/". The price is this 
> will, for an empty directory, replace a HEAD request with a LIST request 
> that's generally more taxing on S3.
