Look at S3Guard#dirListingUnion().  We used to always update MetadataStore at 
the end of listStatus(). Later we changed it to only happen when 
fs.s3a.metadatastore.authoritative = true.

If you set this to true you will always update MetadataStore at end of 
listStatus(), but keep in mind that the short-circuit listings are not 
implemented for Dynamo MS yet ([~gabor.bota] is working towards that though). 
So, you would get the behavior you want for getFileStatus() (short-circuit / 
skip S3) but not listStatus() etc.

There are the other listing APIs that don't update the MetadataStore, though.

> S3Guard to self update on directory listings of S3

>             Project: Hadoop Common
>          Issue Type: Sub-task
>          Components: fs/s3
>    Affects Versions: 3.1.0
>         Environment: s3guard
>            Reporter: Steve Loughran
>            Priority: Major
>
> S3Guard updates its table on a getFileStatus call, but not on a directory 
> listing.
> While this makes directory listings faster (no need to push out an update), 
> it slows down subsequent queries of the files, such as a sequence of:
> {code}
> statuses = s3a.listFiles(dir)
> for (status: statuses) {
>   if (status.isFile) {
>       try(is = s3a.open(status.getPath())) {
>         ... do something
>       }
> }
> {code}
> this is because the open() is doing the getFileStatus check, even after the 
> listing.
> Updating the DDB tables after a listing would give those reads a speedup, 
> albeit at the expense of initiating a (bulk) update in the list call. Of 
> course, we could consider making that async, though that design (essentially 
> a write-buffer) would require the buffer to be checked in the reads too.
