dhruba borthakur commented on HADOOP-2219:
------------------------------------------

1. It might be a good idea to deprecate getContentLen in ClientProtocol and 
Namenode.
2. INode.computeContentSummary can take an ContentSummary object as a parameter 
rather than an array of three longs.
3. This patch removes the optimization in 
DistributedFileSystem.getContentLength(). In the original code, if the path 
object is a DfsPath object, then no additional RPC is required. In the patch, a 
RPC is always required.

> To keep the total number of files on dfs low, we like the users to be able to 
> easily find out how many files each of their directory contain.   
> Currently, we only have fsck or dfs -lsr which takes time.
> Can I ask for an option for du to show the total number of files (as well as 
> the total size) of a given directory?
