Re: Does Spark Streaming need to list all the files in a directory?

[Akhil Das <ak...@sigmoidanalytics.com>]

I guess it goes through that 500k files
<https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/streaming/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/streaming/dstream/FileInputDStream.scala#L193>for
the first time and then use a filter from next time.

Thanks
Best Regards
