Tsz Wo Nicholas Sze commented on HDFS-13616:
--------------------------------------------
We may have something similar to [Google Data batch
feed|https://developers.google.com/gdata/docs/batch].
{code}
// HDFS batch mode example API
FileSystemFeed f = fs.createFeed();
f.list(p1);
f.delete(p2);
...
Iterable<Result> r = f.execute();
{code}
> Batch listing of multiple directories

> 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.
