Puppet sync starts a new TCP connection for each package rather than pooling
Description
If you start to sync Puppet Forge, you will notice that the log shows that it is creating a connection for each package that it downloads.
$ pulp-admin puppet repo create --repo-id=forge --feed=http://forge.puppetlabs.com
$ time pulp-admin puppet repo sync run --repo-id=forge
You will see many messages like this in the log:
Feb 16 18:04:54 dev pulp[4674]: requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool:INFO: Starting new HTTP connection (1): forge.puppetlabs.com
Feb 16 18:04:55 dev pulp[4674]: requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool:INFO: Starting new HTTP connection (1): forge.puppetlabs.com
Feb 16 18:04:56 dev pulp[4674]: requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool:INFO: Starting new HTTP connection (1): forge.puppetlabs.com
Feb 16 18:04:57 dev pulp[4674]: requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool:INFO: Starting new HTTP connection (1): forge.puppetlabs.com
Feb 16 18:04:58 dev pulp[4674]: requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool:INFO: Starting new HTTP connection (1): forge.puppetlabs.com
Feb 16 18:04:59 dev pulp[4674]: requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool:INFO: Starting new HTTP connection (1): forge.puppetlabs.com
…
I would expect to see it making new connections and then pooling them. 5 connections would look like this in the log:
Feb 16 18:04:54 dev pulp[4674]: requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool:INFO: Starting new HTTP connection (1): forge.puppetlabs.com
Feb 16 18:04:55 dev pulp[4674]: requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool:INFO: Starting new HTTP connection (2): forge.puppetlabs.com
Feb 16 18:04:56 dev pulp[4674]: requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool:INFO: Starting new HTTP connection (3): forge.puppetlabs.com
Feb 16 18:04:57 dev pulp[4674]: requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool:INFO: Starting new HTTP connection (4): forge.puppetlabs.com
Feb 16 18:04:58 dev pulp[4674]: requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool:INFO: Starting new HTTP connection (5): forge.puppetlabs.com
If you watch the log during an RPM sync, you will see something similar to the above.
The user-facing issue here is that the sync takes a very long time. It is also not particularly friendly to Puppet forge.
