We run multiple application pods on OpenShift(AWS) that talk to an external mongo db cluster which spreads out in datacenters(not AWS).
During a deployment, it normally takes about 10 mins for "Apache Sling Repository Startup Thread" to do its thing. What is it doing? Any idea what it takes so long? Why is every application pod doing repository startup? Do you recommend attaching a persistent volume to the application pods? Is there a way for Sling to tell other pods there is no need to do repository startup if it was done already? -- Lisa Davidson, RHCE Sr. Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc.
