> 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.
