Taking this one out to its own topic:

Catalog Loader: GeoServer startup has seen a lot of improvements and we are seeking feedback on how-much-faster your experience is (and ensure we avoid deadlocks).

The documentation for this change is here.

This change is now available for testing!

aside: Thanks to @groldan for this work, it is one of the first big improvements from geoserver-cloud to be incorporated back into GeoServer for everyone.

Reporting back from my own testing:

  • training (ysld,control-flow,ogcapi-features,wps) - all workspaces fine
  • demo (ysld,control-flow,ogcapi-features,wps, cog) - all workspaces fine, disabled global services results some welcome page trouble (unrelated)
  • standard (ysld,control-flow,ogcapi-features,wps, cog) - all workspaces fine
  • default (ysld,control-flow,ogcapi-features,wps, cog) - no workspace data dir fine

Updated my installation to the current nightly build and the catalog is loading slightly faster:

2.26 -> CONFIG [org.geoserver] - Read catalog in 6.036 s
2.27 -> INFO   [geoserver.config] - Read Catalog in 4.655 s: workspaces: 6, namespaces: 6, styles: 264, stores: 74, resources: 271, layers: 271, layer groups: 11.

Previewed a few layers and everything seems to be fine.

I went to test the problem I found earlier with “Service Capabilities” showing contents with global services were disabled… and cannot reproduce the problem.

However performing the following test with docker instructions:

docker pull docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:2.27.x 

docker run -it -p8080:8080 \
  --env INSTALL_EXTENSIONS=true \
  --env STABLE_EXTENSIONS="ysld,ogcapi-features" \
  docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:2.27.x

Shows a problem when starting up:

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCurrentlyInCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'localWorkspaceCatalog': Requested bean is currently in creation: Is there an unresolvable circular reference?

I do not see this startup issue when testing locally:

cd web/app
mvn jetty:run -Pysld,ogcapi-features
