Hadoop中HDFS目录字符长度和目录级数限制

今天忙里抽闲，看了一点hadoop的源码，偶然间看到了HDFS的目录字符数量限制和目录的级数限制。远远超过我的预期，没想到设置的这么大。如下：

  // We need to limit the length and depth of a path in the filesystem.  HADOOP-438

  // Currently we set the maximum length to 8k characters and the maximum depth to 1k.  

  public static int MAX_PATH_LENGTH = 8000;

  public static int MAX_PATH_DEPTH = 1000;
