Artifact artf3082 : (1736) Iterator

Tracker:	WS-Directory (Osamu)
Title:	(1736) Iterator
Description:	When we have tens of thousands of entries, or millions of entries in a directory, listing entries takes very long time or even causes OutOfMemoryError. For example, see the slide of "Performance evaluation of Virtual Filesystem Directory Service (VFDS)" at GGF12 GFS-WG session. http://forge.gridforum.org/projects/gfs-wg/document/Performance_evaluation_of_VFDS/en/1 That is why we feel iterator or enumeration is indispensable for listing entries. .

Comment:

Andrew and I are of the opinion that this is a more global concern then just WS-Directory or naming.  There are lots of groups that need to iterate 
through results.  Any time a large result is returned, an iterator should be used.  We think that a more general concept of iterators should be 
produced outside of this group and that the results of that group should apply to this comment.
