Description of problem: Particularly these 2: @@DEFAULT_SLOTS = 5 @@DEFAULT_GEAR_TIMEOUT = 200 Having these hard-coded means that starting up large amounts of apps takes longer than necessary. It could be increased in that case. Or maybe it should be lowered, because the gear size has been customized to be very large, and perhaps CPU-intensive. GEAR_TIMEOUT should be customizable for similar reasons, perhaps very large JBoss apps that take a long time to get started.
/etc/init.d/openshift-gears calls this too. The plan is to allow the services to be configurable. Upstream will need to take systemd into account. First we'll add options to oo-admin-ctl-gears to facilitate this. We're going to track this the Origin trello board then close this as DEFERRED.
