Sergey Shelukhin commented on HIVE-15546:
-----------------------------------------
See NullScanFileSystem, ZeroRowsInputFormat, etc; that already handles this for
some cases, replacing inputs with fake paths instead of using fake files.
> Optimize Utilities.getInputPaths()

> When running on blobstores (like S3) where metadata operations (like
> listStatus) are costly, Utilities.getInputPaths() can add significant
> overhead when setting up the input paths for an MR / Spark / Tez job.
> The method performs a listStatus on all input paths in order to check if the
> path is empty. If the path is empty, a dummy file is created for the given
> partition. This is all done sequentially. This can be really slow when there
> are a lot of empty partitions. Even when all partitions have input data, this
> can take a long time.
> We should either:
> (1) Just remove the logic to check if each input path is empty, and handle
> any edge cases accordingly.
> (2) Multi-thread the listStatus calls
