+/// Workhorse for streaming async implementation of `GetFileInfo`
+/// (`GetFileInfoGenerator`).
+///
+/// There are two variants of async discovery functions suported:
+/// 1. `DiscoverPartitionFiles`, which parallelizes traversal of individual 
directories
+///    so that each directory results are yielded as a separate 
`FileInfoGenerator` via
+///    an underlying `DiscoveryImplIterator`, which delivers items in chunks 
(default size
+///    is `kBatchSize == 1K` items).

Review Comment:
   Is there any benefit to running `stat` in parallel?  For example, if we are 
listing a single directory with 100,000 files.  Would it make sense to kick off 
10 thread tasks, each one `stat`ing 10k files?
