Kihwal Lee commented on HDFS-4995:
----------------------------------
I've tested this with 100 threads creating, renaming deleting and also reader
client calling getContentSummary(). The threshold was set to 2 in this test, so
that it does lock yielding very frequently.
> Make getContentSummary() less expensive

> Key: HDFS-4995
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4995
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: namenode
> Affects Versions: 0.23.9, 2.3.0
> Reporter: Kihwal Lee
> Attachments: HDFS-4995.trunk1.patch, HDFS-4995.trunk.patch
>
>
> When users call du or count DFS command, getContentSummary() method is called
> against namenode. If the directory has many directories and files, it could
> hold the namesystem lock for a long time. We've seen it taking over 20
> seconds. Namenode should not allow regular users to cause extended locking.
