HADOOP-17313. FileSystem.get to support slow-to-instantiate FS clients. (#2396)
This adds a semaphore to throttle the number of FileSystem instances which
can be created simultaneously, set in "fs.creation.parallel.count".
This is designed to reduce the impact of many threads in an application calling
FileSystem.get() on a filesystem which takes time to instantiate -for example
to an object where HTTPS connections are set up during initialization.
Many threads trying to do this may create spurious delays by conflicting
for access to synchronized blocks, when simply limiting the parallelism
diminishes the conflict, so speeds up all threads trying to access
the store.
The default value, 64, is larger than is likely to deliver any speedup -but
it does mean that there should be no adverse effects from the change.
If a service appears to be blocking on all threads initializing connections to
abfs, s3a or store, try a smaller (possibly significantly smaller) value.
