Hari Shreedharan commented on FLUME-2502:
-----------------------------------------
Once we support Java 7+ only, we can use the WatchService to make sure we don't
do a file listing each time, instead keep track of the files as they get added.
> Spool source's directory listing is inefficient

> Key: FLUME-2502
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2502
> Project: Flume
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Sinks+Sources
> Affects Versions: v1.5.0
> Reporter: Prateek Rungta
>
> As mentioned in
> [FLUME-2309|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2309], the directory
> listing can it self become the bottleneck when accessing directories with a
> large number of files (>1M). The fix in that JIRA added in the ability to
> specify `RANDOM` as a Consume-Order to avoid sorting large lists.
> The slowness of the directory listing is still un-addressed.
