Description

During an upgrade of rudder-web package (from 2.6.2 to 2.6.8 on my case) the rudder-upgrade script is launched.
From rudder-upgrade, one of the PostgreSQL script, named dbMigration-2.6-2.6-index-reports.sql, is launched but takes too many time.

This script could take more than 30 minutes ! (Too bad, I can't reproduce to estimate)

A message should warn of the script should not be automatically launched.

I'm not sure I understand what you want.
Is that in case of upgrade, the post-install script should not be launched ?

There is already an info saying:
INFO: Updating the PostgreSQL indexes, this may take several minutes...

isn't that enough ?

If I remind well, the problem was that upgrading a package during more than 30 min is so long that it could be let users think that the rpm installation is frozen without timeout (like I thought during this upgrade).
I don't remember any INFO message but I still think that upgrading a package during 30min-1hour is disturbing, don't you ?

but we need this script to run, or else the perfs will be catastrophics
What do you suggest we should do?

Maybe a PSQL request to gauge if the update will be very long or not and if this is the case to warn the user that it will take very long, not interruption should be done.

The request could be for example:
- "SELECT reltuples FROM pg_class WHERE relname='ruddersysevents'" to estimate number of rows
- "SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size('ruddersysevents'));" to know the size of the table and if it is more than 10GB I suppose the script will be quite slow
