---------------------------------------
I set assignee to unassigned as [~janulatha] is not working on this.
> Blobstores should use fs.listFiles(path, recursive=true) rather than
> FileUtils.listStatusRecursively

> Key: HIVE-16003
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-16003
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Reporter: Sahil Takiar
> Priority: Major
>
> {{FileUtils.listStatusRecursively}} can be slow on blobstores because
> {{listStatus}} calls are applied recursively to a given directory. This can
> be especially bad on tables with multiple levels of partitioning.
> The {{FileSystem}} API provides an optimized API called {{listFiles(path,
> recursive)}} that can be used to invoke an optimized recursive directory
> listing.
> The problem is that the {{listFiles(path, recursive)}} API doesn't provide a
> option to pass in a {{PathFilter}}, while {{FileUtils.listStatusRecursively}}
> uses a custom HIDDEN_FILES_PATH_FILTER.
> To fix this we could either:
> 1: Modify the FileSystem API to provide a {{listFiles(path, recursive,
> PathFilter)}} method (probably the cleanest solution)
> 2: Add conditional logic so that blobstores invoke {{listFiles(path,
> recursive)}} and the rest of the code uses the current implementation of
> {{FileUtils.listStatusRecursively}}
> 3: Replace the implementation of {{FileUtils.listStatusRecursively}} with
> {{listFiles(path, recursive)}} and apply the {{PathFilter}} on the results
> (not sure what optimizations can be made if {{PathFilter}} objects are passed
> into {{FileSystem}} methods - maybe {{PathFilter}} objects are pushed to the
> NameNode?)
