   FWIW it look like there were two efforts to resolve this issue in the 
NameNode. Neither were merged.
   
   https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-7174
   https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9053
   
   I think there might be a penalty for having too many subdirectories, not 
only in memory consumption in the NameNode, but also in time traversing the 
directories when trying to list files.
   
   https://github.com/apache/hadoop/pull/8064 made the 
`dfs.namenode.fs-limits.max-directory-items` property reconfigurable in Hadoop 
3.5.0. Looking at that PR, there is a hard limit of 6.4 million objects.
