>
> *First problem*
> In org.apache.hadoop.tools.DistCp#deleteNonexisting we serialize FileStatus 
> objects when the path is all we need.
> The performance problem comes from 
> org.apache.hadoop.fs.RawLocalFileSystem.RawLocalFileStatus#write which tries 
> to retrieve file permissions by issuing a "ls -ld <path>" which is painfully 
> slow.
> Changed that to just serialize Path and not FileStatus.
> *Second problem*
> To delete the files we invoke the "hadoop" command line tool with option 
> "-rmr <path>". Again, for each file.
> Changed that to dstfs.delete(path, true)
