In order to release a directory that contains a large number of files, it is recommended to use the xargs command in a similar manner, as follows:

# directory
find -L <directory path> -type f | xargs -r -n512 -P64 weka fs tier release
 
# similarly, a file containing a list of paths can be used
cat file-list | xargs -P32 -n200 weka fs tier release
