Allen Wittenauer resolved HADOOP-6732. -------------------------------------- Resolution: Incomplete I know FsShell has undergone several revisions since this JIRA was filed. Closing as stale. If it is still an issue, let's open a new one. Hooray! > Improve FsShell's heap consumption by switching to listStatus that returns an > iterator > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-6732 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6732 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Hairong Kuang > Assignee: Daryn Sharp > > When listing a large directory from the command line using the default heap > configuration, FsShell often runs out of memory. This is because all stats of > the entries under the directory need to be in memory before printing them. > The new API listStatus that returns an iterator of FileStatus, which > implemented in HDFS-1091, no longer requires that all entries are fetched > first. Thus switching to this new API will greatly improve the use of heap > space. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
