Ted Yu commented on HBASE-18309:
--------------------------------
In production, the number of directories would be greater than the number of
threads.
But I get your point w.r.t. the diminishing return of sorting.
> Support multi threads in CleanerChore

> There is only one thread in LogCleaner to clean oldWALs and in our big
> cluster we find this is not enough. The number of files under oldWALs reach
> the max-directory-items limit of HDFS and cause region server crash, so we
> use multi threads for LogCleaner and the crash not happened any more.
