Joep Rottinghuis created HDFS-8898:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Create API and command-line argument to get quota without
need to get file and directory counts
Key: HDFS-8898
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-8898
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Bug
Components: fs
Reporter: Joep Rottinghuis
On large directory structures it takes significant time to iterate through the
file and directory counts recursively to get a complete ContentSummary.
When you want to just check for the quota on a higher level directory it would
be good to have an option to skip the file and directory counts.
Moreover, currently one can only check the quota if you have access to all the
directories underneath. For example, if I have a large home directory under
/user/joep and I host some files for another user in a sub-directory, the
moment they create an unreadable sub-directory under my home I can no longer
check what my quota is. Understood that I cannot check the current file counts
unless I can iterate through all the usage, but for administrative purposes it
is nice to be able to get the current quota setting on a directory without the
need to iterate through and run into permission issues on sub-directories.
