Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HADOOP-9981:
----------------------------------------------
yes, I think the globber can be fixed to avoid listStatus on non-wildcard path
components. It will be a little tricky to do this while not breaking support
for symlinks, but I think it can be done.

> Key: HADOOP-9981
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9981
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.3.0
> Reporter: Kihwal Lee
> Priority: Critical
>
> After HADOOP-9652, listStatus() or globStatus() calls against a local file
> system directory is very slow. A user was loading data from local file
> system to Hive and it took about 30 seconds. The same operation took less
> than a second pre-HADOOP-9652.
> The input path had many other files beside the input files and strace showed
> that fork & exec of stat against each and every one of them. jstack confirmed
> that this was being done from getNativeFileLinkStatus().
