    Description

      The new 2-level directory layout can make directory scans expensive in terms of disk seeks (see HDFS-8791) for details.

      It would be good if the directoryScanner() had a configurable duty cycle that would reduce its impact on disk performance (much like the approach in HDFS-8617).

      Without such a throttle, disks can go 100% busy for many minutes at a time (assuming the common case of all inodes in cache but no directory blocks cached, 64K seeks are required for full directory listing which translates to 655 seconds)
