Zhe Zhang commented on HDFS-13616:
----------------------------------

Interesting idea!

Any thought on the potential of DDoSing the NameNode? Does this patch make it 
easier for an abusing application to saturate the NN?

> One of the dominant workloads for external metadata services is listing of 
> partition directories. This canĀ 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.
