Gem install is slow

[castro1688]

As it stands fluent-plugin-aws-elasticsearch-service requires the aws-sdk gem. This includes 30+ aws-sdk-* items.

With sdk version 3 there is the ability to install specific modules. https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-ruby/blob/master/README.md

Same problem here!

Slow as in nothing happening for about 5 minutes. I would actually call that very close to not working at all.

Dockerfile:

FROM fluent/fluentd:v1.2.2

RUN apk add --update --virtual .build-deps \
        sudo build-base ruby-dev \
 && sudo gem install \
        fluent-plugin-aws-elasticsearch-service  \
        fluent-plugin-parser \
        fluent-plugin-kubernetes_metadata_filter \
 && sudo gem sources --clear-all \
 && apk del .build-deps \
 && rm -rf /var/cache/apk/* \
        /home/fluent/.gem/ruby/2.3.0/cache/*.gem

COPY ./conf/fluent.conf /fluentd/etc/fluent.conf

USER root

COPY ./entrypoint.sh /bin/entrypoint.sh
RUN chmod +x /bin/entrypoint.sh

I too had/have the slow gem install issue. I was installing via chef with the td-agent cookbook, and I was able to get them gem installing fast by reducing the aws dependencies (as @castro1688 pointed out) to only what was needed (aws-sdk-core), rebuilding the gem, and then doing a local install. If you would like to do the same, check out the PR description (you'll probably want to bump the version in the .gemspec first): #49
