Bitbucket Server Importer improvements
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/20164#note_91854832 was merged! This issue tracks a number of issues to improve with the Bitbucket Server importer (and may affect other importers as well):
-
Add documentation (for 11.2): https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/21097 -
Paginate import project list (customer has 1900+ projects, so the initial status page takes a long time to load) -
Automatically substitute spaces and other invalid characters with -
or something else (this applies to other importers as well): https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/21367 -
Eliminate idle-in-transaction timeout in creating merge requests (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/49866): https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/21173/diffs -
Reduce memory usage (often RSS goes past 2 GB). Right now we load all pull requests into memory. May need to batch load these. -
Improve performance. May need to implement the parallel importer approach as we do with GitHub. - done in BitBucket Server: Fix migration timeouts (#411534 - closed) -
Import approvers and approved date - !135256 (merged) -
Import closed events - separate issue created: #431325 (closed) -
Provide way to automatically resync existing Bitbucket pull requests - This is not supported currently as imports are only once-off.
Other questions:
- If an empty project is created first, the importer will fail immediately.
- It seems that when I import a project, I am only allowed to use the namespace where the user doing the import is an owner (either group or user.)
- Finally, if the BB/Stash user doesn’t exist, then action is always the user-account running the importer. It isn’t very desirable that I be the owner of such things…is there any other mechanism to control the behavior of unknown users?
