> [filesystems] Introduce listStatusIterator API to file system
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-11868
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-11868
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: FileSystems
> Reporter: Yun Tang
> Assignee: Yun Tang
> Priority: Major
> Labels: stale-assigned
> Fix For: 1.13.0
>
>
> From existed experience, we know {{listStatus}} is expensive for many
> distributed file systems especially when the folder contains too many files.
> This method would not only block the thread until result is return but also
> could cause OOM due to the returned array of {{FileStatus}} is really large.
> I think we should already learn it from FLINK-7266 and FLINK-8540.
> However, list file status under a path is really helpful in many situations.
> Thankfully, many distributed file system noticed that and provide API such as
> {{[listStatusIterator|https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/api/org/apache/hadoop/fs/FileSystem.html#listStatusIterator(org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path)]}}
> to call the file system on demand.
>
> We should also introduce this API and replace current implementation which
> used previous {{listStatus}}.
