Hari Shreedharan commented on FLUME-2502:
-----------------------------------------

Thanks for the patch! Instead of adding a separate config param for this - lets 
make this the default behavior for random. Just ensure that you have all edge 
cases covered like a listed file is not available anymore - log an error and 
move on to the next file. Also ensure that the original filter is respected.

> Spool source's directory listing is inefficient

> 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.
