Description

MySQL doesn't allow you to create an index on a text field unless you specify the length of the index (e.g. KEY pulp_app_workers_name (name(1000)). This is to prevent indexes from growing too large. We probably don't want to remove the key in which case we should either change the text fields to char fields or manually create the indexes in the db ourselves.

Here's how to search for the fields affected:

grep -r "TextField(db_index" *.py

There are 5 instances in Pulp where we have TextFields with db indexes. They're all name fields. I noticed in some cases (e.g. ContentGuard, Distribution) we are using CharField. So to reiterate, the options are:

1. Change all names to use CharField and thus avoiding having to write raw SQL in our migrations
2. Write a migration with some raw sql to create the key with a length. I am not sure how db agnostic this is though.

+1 to option 1, CharField.

In my opinion, we don't have a real need for TextField for names. And it seems that it's easier to stay DB-agnostic with a CharField and for some DBs it will also mean a performance gain (not for PostgreSQL though, it doesn't matter for it, AFAIK)

MySQL doesn't support text fields as indexes

Changing fields from text to char since MySQL doesn't support text fields as indexes. Also, recreating the migrations since they blow up when you run them on MySQL.

Changing relative_path and digest to CharFields

The relative_path and digest fields are text fields and are part of a unique constraint which MySQL/mariadb doesn't support.
