---------------------------------
This seems like a great feature. [~andrew.wang] do you still plan to finish
this? I'd be happy to help to move this forward.

> 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.
