             Summary: Batch listing of multiple directories
                 Key: HDFS-13616
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-13616
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: New Feature
    Affects Versions: 3.2.0
            Reporter: Andrew Wang
            Assignee: Andrew Wang


One of the dominant workloads for external metadata services is listing of 
partition directories. This canĀ end up being bottlenecked on RTT time when 
partition directories contain a small number of files. This is fairly common, 
since fine-grained partitioning is used for partition pruning by the query 
engines.

A batched listing API that takes multiple paths amortizes the RTT cost. Initial 
benchmarks show a 10-20x improvement in metadata loading performance.
