Description Justin Pierce 2017-11-14 19:45:23 UTC
Description of problem:
`oadm migration authorization` is going to take over 5 hours for a single large cluster (~22000 projects). The majority of this time will be spent in rate limiting logic in the client (200ms for rate limit vs 10ms for the request itself).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
v3.6

How reproducible:
100%

Expected results:
Rate limiting should be a user choice and likely not the default for operations required for upgrades. A 5 hour pre-check is a sizable impediment to a predictable upgrade. 

Can we turn this off for migrate or make a general purpose --no-rate-limit CLI flag? If an authenticated user wants to intentionally DOS attack the server, they can do so without using the CLI. Only a well intentioned user would bother using the CLI and, if they know what they are doing and opt in with the flag, we should let them migrate quickly.

Comment 5 Mike Fiedler 2018-02-05 19:49:13 UTC
Tested the following clients against a 3.6.173.0.86 server:

3.6.173.0.101
3.7.27
3.8.32
3.9.0-0.36.0

For 1000 projects oc adm migrate authorization time was reduced from 14 minutes (pre-fix client - 3.6.173.0.86) to 6-7 seconds.   The 14 minutes is inline with the estimate above of 5 hours for 20K projects

For 20000 projects, migration time with the fix was ~ 2m 20s for all versions of the fixed client. 

This can be marked VERIFIED once a functional team regression of the command is performed.
