             Summary: Improve performance of path handling
                 Key: HDFS-10616
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-10616
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: hdfs
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha
            Reporter: Daryn Sharp
            Assignee: Daryn Sharp


Path handling in the namesystem and directory is very inefficient.  The path is 
repeatedly resolved, decomposed into path components, recombined to a full 
path. parsed again, throughout the system.  This is directly inefficient for 
general performance, and indirectly via unnecessary pressure on young gen GC.

The namesystem should only operate on paths, parse it once into inodes, and the 
directory should only operate on inodes.
