Sergey Shelukhin commented on HDFS-5916:
----------------------------------------
I mean the programmatic API (e.g. on FileSystem class) for an arbitrary list of
directories (which have common parent sub-tree in these cases, but don't have
to I guess).
i.e. List<Path> dirList = ...; FileSystem fs = ...; fs.deleteAll(dirList);
> provide API to bulk delete directories/files
> --------------------------------------------

> It would be nice to have an API to delete directories and files in bulk - for
> example, when deleting Hive partitions or HBase regions in large numbers, the
> code could avoid many trips to NN.
