[jira] [Commented] (HDFS-186) directory browser can not list all the entries for a large directory

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-186?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13066981#comment-13066981 ] 

Harsh J commented on HDFS-186:
------------------------------

Gave another try with 10k, looks good still, but my NN isn't really under load and the transfer was over localhost.

Agreed on pagination and thanks much for reopening with that idea (although this bug was related to the page not responding _at all_ back then), but wouldn't that be a waste of NN's resources even then since the NN does not have a way to query only N:M items of a list? Cause otherwise, the same amount of data would require transferring, and lead to the same problem again.

Thoughts, Allen?

> When browsing a large directory, for example, one with 500 files, web browser is not able to display all the entries. Instead, it stops loading the page in the middle.
