> Review uses of the FS APIs in applications using the Hadoop FS API to access filesystems; identify suboptimal uses and tune them for better performance against HDFS and object stores
> * Assume arbitrary Hadoop 2.x releases: make no changes which are known to make operations on older versions of Hadoop slower
> * Do propose those changes which deliver speedups in later versions of Hadoop, while not impacting older versions, or risk of causing scalability problems.
> * Add more tests, especially scalable ones which also display metrics.
> * Use standard benchmarks and optimization tools to identify hotspots.
> * Use FS behaviour as verified in the FS contract tests as evidence that filesystems correctly implement the Hadoop FS APIs. If a use of an API call is made which hints at the expectation of different/untested behaviours, leave alone and add new tests to the Hadoop FS contract to determine cross-FS semantics.
> * Focus on the startup, split calculation and directory scanning operations: the ones which slow down entire queries.
> * Eliminate use of {{isDirectory()}},  {{getLength()}}, {{exists()}} if a followon operation ({{getStatus()}},{{delete()}}, ... makes the use redundant.
> * Assume that {{FileStatus}} entries are not cached; the cost of creating them is 1 RPC call against HDFS, 1+ HTTPS call against object stores.
> * Locate calls to the listing operations, identify speedups, especially on recursive directory scans.
> * Identify suboptimal seek patterns (backwards as well as forwards) and attempt to reduce/eliminate through reordering and result caching.
> * Try to reuse the results of previous operations (e.g {{FileStatus}} instances) in follow-on calls.
> * Document best practises identified and implemented.
