I have approximately 8 million images which consists of an original image and 4 resized images. Currently they are all contained in a single directory which serves the images via HTTP. We are looking to move to reorganize the files into a new directory structure. What would be the most efficient method to organize images with a naming scheme of 32 mixed alphanumeric characters and .jpg at the end.

It really depends on the distribution of the filenames across the entire alphabet space. Can you give more insight into your particular distribution, or is it basically uniform? – lc. Aug 12 '14 at 06:42

Why would the naming scheme matter at all? Why not just 0.jpg, 1.jpg, ..., 7999999.jpg, 8000000.jpg? – President James K. Polk Aug 17 '14 at 16:02
