Review comment:
Thanx @jojochuang for having a look.
Yes, It indeed isn't meant for object stores, I am trying a multi threaded
approach for object stores too as part of HADOOP-17558, that won't be too much
memory efficient, but still find a balance between speed and memory. I have a
WIP patch for that as well, will share that on the jira
This is basically for HDFS or FS where listing is not slow, but there are
memory constraints, my scenario is basically for DR, where it is in general
HDFS->HDFS or HDFS->S3
