>
> DistCP issues a delete(file) request even if is underneath an already deleted
> directory. This generates needless load on filesystems/object stores, and, if
> the store throttles delete, can dramatically slow down the delete operation.
> If the distcp delete operation can build a history of deleted directories,
> then it will know when it does not need to issue those deletes.
> Care is needed here to make sure that whatever structure is created does not
> overload the heap of the process.
