Allen Wittenauer resolved HADOOP-6732.
--------------------------------------
Resolution: Incomplete
I know FsShell has undergone several revisions since this JIRA was filed.
Closing as stale. If it is still an issue, let's open a new one. Hooray!
> Improve FsShell's heap consumption by switching to listStatus that returns an
> iterator
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: HADOOP-6732

> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Hairong Kuang
> Assignee: Daryn Sharp
>
> When listing a large directory from the command line using the default heap
> configuration, FsShell often runs out of memory. This is because all stats of
> the entries under the directory need to be in memory before printing them.
> The new API listStatus that returns an iterator of FileStatus, which
> implemented in HDFS-1091, no longer requires that all entries are fetched
> first. Thus switching to this new API will greatly improve the use of heap
> space.
