Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HADOOP-3507:
------------------------------------------------

I agreed that the performance is not as good as before when you rename a directory which contains a lot of being created files, especially, when the number of being created files is 1,000,000.  However, is this a rare case?

> I am creating a directory containing 200,000 files, and then renaming it.
> The rename operation is twice as long as the the total time for creating all those files.
> The worst thing is that the rename blocks the name-node for minutes. I tried it with a bigger directory containing 1 mln files - it blocks for 30 minutes.
> The rename itself is fast, its the changeLease() called after renaming that takes all the time.
> As I can see from the code changeLease() gets tailMap() of the directory that it renames and scans the whole tail.
> If the number of open files is large as in my case this takes forever because the tailMap includes all files in the subtree.
> Simple way to reproduce it is to run
> {code}
> NNThroughputBenchmark -op open -files N
> {code}
> with a large N. This will first create N files in directory "/NNThroughputBenchmark/create" and then rename it to "/NNThroughputBenchmark/open".
