Enhance mmfindinode Performance and Provide SDK API for Path Query by Inode

This RFE requests enhancements to the mmfindinode utility in the GPFS/Spectrum Scale filesystem to significantly improve its performance. Additionally, it proposes the development of an SDK API that allows querying file paths based on inode numbers programmatically, hence offering a more efficient and flexible approach for applications and automation tools that interact with the GPFS/Spectrum Scale filesystem.

    Current test results:

    We used the tsfindinode command to query inodes in a file system with 40 million files. The first query took 2.5 minutes and the second query took 1.5 minutes.
