> When listing a directory of around 1300 children, it takes hundreds of
> milliseconds. It turns out the slowdowness is caused by the change made by
> HADOOP-4187. The return value of listStatus is an array of FileStatus. When
> deserializing each element of the array,
> ReflectionUtils#newInstance(Class<T>, Configuration) is called and then calls
> setConf, which calls setJobConf. SetJobConf checks if JobConf is on the class
> path by calling Configuration#getClassByName. Even though
> Configuration#getClassByName tries to optimize the lookup using a cached map,
> but since JobConf is not in the class path, so it is not in the cache. Every
> checkup ends up calling Class.ForName which is very expensive. Deserializing
> an array of 1300 entries requires calling of Class#ForName 1300 times!
