with this PR is the same as the previous pr. This isn't a scaleable solution. 
The file system approach was able to parallelize the work through directory 
traversal, but this does not.

   Do we have some technical docs on the performance of the listPrefix 
approach? I tried to look this up but couldn't find anything other than some 
old stack overflow posts saying it worked on 80million entries in someones 
workflow. I just want to make sure we aren't parallelizing something on the 
client that isn't already parallelized on the server.
   
   I think @danielcweeks is right that the naive approach here could be very 
dangerous if the server implementation of list prefix was not internally 
distributed.
