[jira] [Commented] (VFS-654) File system events API

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-654?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16378933#comment-16378933 ] 

Otto Fowler commented on VFS-654:
---------------------------------

Not that I have seen, but I've only recently been paying attention.

Besides HDFS ( which is still @unstable ) what other filesystems do you have in mind?

> Currently the DefaultFileMonitor walks the whole file system and notifies when something changes. For large file systems and (near) real-time requirements this is _extremely_ inefficient. Some file systems have an events API which could be exposed (like *inotify*). Has any work towards that ever been done?
