             Summary: Inefficient design in ContinuousFileMonitoringFunction
                 Key: FLINK-10518
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-10518
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: filesystem-connector
    Affects Versions: 1.5.2
            Reporter: Huyen Levan


The ContinuousFileMonitoringFunction class keeps track of the latest file modification time to rule out all file it has processed in the previous cycles. For a long-running job, the list of eligible files will be much less than the list of all files in the folder being monitored.
In the current implementation of the getInputSplitsSortedByModTime method, a list of all available splits are created first, and then every single split is checked with the list of eligible files.
{quote}for (FileInputSplit split: format.createInputSplits(readerParallelism)) {
 FileStatus fileStatus = eligibleFiles.get(split.getPath());
 if (fileStatus != null) {
{quote}
The improvement can be done as:
 * Listing of all files should be done once in _ContinuousFileMonitoringFunction.listEligibleFiles()_ (as of now it is done the 2nd time in _FileInputFormat.createInputSplits()_ )
 * The list of file-splits should then be created from the list of paths in eligibleFiles.
