Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Chris Duryee 2018-06-20 23:54:51 UTC 
Description of problem:

If you on-demand sync a large repo like RHEL7 Server x86_64, the Pulp sync will take about 15-20 minutes. However, the IndexContent step will take even longer, perhaps 20-30 minutes.

It looks like most of the time is spent in import_all (logging added by me):

2018-06-20T21:53:50 [W|app|] begin import_all Katello::Pulp::Rpm
2018-06-20T22:06:47 [W|app|] end import_all Katello::Pulp::Rpm
2018-06-20T22:06:49 [W|app|] begin import_all Katello::Pulp::Srpm
2018-06-20T22:06:49 [W|app|] end import_all Katello::Pulp::Srpm
2018-06-20T22:06:51 [W|app|] begin import_all Katello::Pulp::Erratum
2018-06-20T22:18:21 [W|app|] end import_all Katello::Pulp::Erratum
2018-06-20T22:18:21 [W|app|] begin import_all Katello::Pulp::PackageGroup
2018-06-20T22:18:24 [W|app|] end import_all Katello::Pulp::PackageGroup

I think most of the time is spent in the loop in https://github.com/Katello/katello/blob/master/app/models/katello/concerns/pulp_database_unit.rb#L51-L57, where each unit is loaded individually. Resyncs do not take nearly as long.

Syncing one or more large repos is extremely common when setting up a Katello installation, so any time savings here would be a big deal.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. load a manifest
2. enable rhel 7 server repo
