Description

LocalBlobStore.list with the filesystem blobstore enumerates the entire container even when prefix and delimiter set. The File API does not provide a way to list a subset of files except for those within a specific directory and the underlying filesystem makes no guarantees about enumeration order. We can still optimize the case where prefix is set and delimiter is /. Reference:
