Description of problem: "hammer repository upload-content --path" command invokes for each and every RPM in the directory foreman task Actions::Katello::Repository::ImportUpload. That task consists of: Actions::Pulp::Repository::ImportUpload Actions::Pulp::Repository::DistributorPublish Actions::Katello::Repository::FilteredIndexContent dynflow sub-tasks. Assume one uploads hundreds of RPMs in bulk action to a big repo. Then we call pulp sequence "upload RPM to repo, publish repo" 100times in a row. If the repo is big in content, every publish can take tens of seconds. Redundantly, since another iteration of the loop will discard the published bits. This can even cause upload package failure per https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1402415 . Please ensure by either way that the DistributorPublish (and I expect FilteredIndexContent as well) is called just once, at the end of the bulk action. I file the BZ against hammer, though a change in hammer _and_ foreman/katello tasks needs to be done. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tfm-rubygem-hammer_cli_katello-0.0.22.26-1.el7sat.noarch Sat6.2.4 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a big repo (say RHEL6 base one) 2. Bulk upload many RPMs via "hammer repository upload-content --path /tmp/dir_with_many_rpms" 3. Count the time, check for potential failed uploads and for the time spent in individual DistributorPublish sub-tasks. Actual results: Huge time, some uploads might fail (if repo publish exceeds hammer timeout, see bz1402415 for reasoning), great deal of the time spent in DistributorPublish steps. Expected results: Substantially slower times, no faile uploads, DistributorPublish called just once at the end. Additional info: Idea of fix: add option "skip_publish" to Actions::Katello::Repository::ImportUpload and hammer sets it to true for all except the latest RPM upload. skip_publish=true will not trigger the 2 dynflow steps

Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite 6 since the upstream issue http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/17691 has been resolved.
Please add verifications steps for this bug to help QE verify
Justin, did I add the MR's correctly?
Yes thanks! looks like i forgot these two.

I'm not sure, i've not actually tried that many rpms, comparing to 6.2.8 would probably help (and i'd maybe try just 500 rpms for that comparison).
Verified in Satellite 6.2.9 Snap 3. In this version, there is a significant decrease in time required to upload multiple rpms into one repository. As you will see in the screenshots (attached) the new version skips the distributor publish. Also, you can notice that repo publishing occurs only after the last rpm is uploaded. 6.2.8 Successfully uploaded file '0dc-foo-cb183-1-1.fc21.x86_64.rpm'.
