⚠ Not tested yet ⚠ Expected behavior: 1. The CRDB-StatefulSet and the init-Job are deployed almost at the same time
2. The init-job initializes the DB - once it is ready for initialization - and finishes
3. The `helm install` command succeeds
4. The Job is eventually auto-deleted by Kubernetes due to the `ttlSecondsAfterFinished` being 0
(this unblocks the `helm upgrade`)On Upgrade: (0. The init-Job is removed, if present from a previous `helm upgrade` - should not be
there anymore from the `helm install` step)
1. The CRDB-StatefulSet is upgraded
2. The init-Job is run after the StatefulSet is upgraded and ready
3. The `helm upgrade` command succeeds |

I just had big success with the init job. The changes I propose in this PR seem to do their job (pun intended...?). The cluster was initialized without any manual action. Nothing special required here, as you can see. Flux enables The init-job was applied in parallel to the StatefulSet, ran in the loop until the CRDB-pods accepted the init-command, ran the init, printed a success message and stayed as "completed" (which is expected and totally fine) before I got the And when the upgrade ran, it removed the previously installed job - because of the Side-Note: It is probably debatable, if the init-job is even needed at all on upgrade...because what does it do there? I mark this PR as ready and would be happy to address any questions or notes regarding my code changes. |

I'm unsure what a good title for this PR would be, so if you have one, let me know please |

Removing this loop can cause issues, what if the init was not successful in first attempt. Job will fail and cockroachdb will not come up.

cockroach init already runs in a loop. I think this was changed since the Job was created and the Job was never updated..

The main issue with this is the job will be left in the cluster and when you do an upgrade, the new image will be patched to this job which is not allowed as job is an immutable resource in kubernetes.

Since the hook-delete-policy still applies on Upgrade, it removes the old job before creating the one for the upgrade.
Feel free to test it out.
There are multiple issues stating the init-job is not run as expected This is because there is a deadlock with the CRDB-StatfulSet requiring the init-job to run, which is only ran by Helm when the StatefulSet is considered ready The optional use of the --wait of `helm install` is causing differing observations This PR attempts to fix the problem by using the Job as plain Job instead of hook when the Chart is initially installed
