It would be interesting to know how well Spectrum Scale large directory 
and small file features work in these sort of DB-ish applications.

You might want to optimize by creating a file system provisioned and tuned 
for such application...

Regardless of file system,  `ls -1 | grep ...` in a huge directory is not 
going to be a good idea.  But stats and/or opens on a huge directory to 
look for a particular file should work pretty well...
