Mingliang Liu commented on HDFS-9422:
-------------------------------------
Agreed. The most heavy I/O operations scanning the disk are not holding the
{{dataset}} lock. The diff is out of sync, which is fine, even before this
patch.

> In DirectoryScanner, the scan call hold the global dataset lock for quite
> long time (typically > 5 secs for 500k blocks). This will stuck the client
> which need acquire this lock. For applications like HBase, this will affect
> the latency. In fact, this lock is unnecessary.
