Andrew Wang commented on HDFS-13616:
------------------------------------

Thanks for providing the additional context Todd, agree on all points.

I'm happy to build a simple benchmark, let me start on that. I'm thinking of 
invoking the NN methods directly, since external measurement seems a little 
tricky, and I don't know how easy it is to hook in something like JMH. Getting 
a realistic measurement would require doing something multi-threaded on a 
server-class machine, but let's see how far I get on my laptop.

> One of the dominant workloads for external metadata services is listing of 
> partition directories. This can end up being bottlenecked on RTT time when 
> partition directories contain a small number of files. This is fairly common, 
> since fine-grained partitioning is used for partition pruning by the query 
> engines.
> A batched listing API that takes multiple paths amortizes the RTT cost. 
> Initial benchmarks show a 10-20x improvement in metadata loading performance.
