2018-06-11: 11.0.0.rc13 exception request for gitlab-org/gitlab-ce!19547

Exception request

  • Merge request to be considered for picking: gitlab-org/gitlab-ce!19547

Why it needs to be picked

This issue is currently blocking the GCP Migration, as we want to use upload object storage migration in the migration process. The main benefit is to significantly reduce the number of queries done while migrating a huge number of records.

As this migration will be long, we want to start as soon as possible. There is not alternative to this solution, but to accept a huge number of queries during the migration (>10X).

Potential negative impact of picking

This MR could break the migration process, albeit all tests are green. This MR is an optimization, it doesn't change the process. The worst that could happen is to break the migration process, which could lead to missing/unavailable uploads.

We shall test using the staging env to make sure this doesn't happen.
