Binance Blog published a new article, detailing the introduction of Binance's Small File Doctor framework aimed at optimizing data platform efficiency. The article highlights the challenges posed by small files in large-scale data platforms, which can lead to increased metadata overhead, higher tail latency, and job failures. Small File Doctor is designed to address these issues by transforming small-file cleanup from scattered scripts into a governed system, significantly reducing the number of small files and saving substantial compute and storage costs annually. The core design goal of Small File Doctor is to ensure file optimization can safely run continuously in production, focusing efforts where it measurably improves latency, stability, and cost
