Using Post Hook to Initialize a Database

In the OpenShift v2 days, we used Action Hooks to initialize a database with test data. OpenShift 3.x also provides pod lifecycle hooks that can be leveraged to initialize the database after the database starts inside a pod. This blog explains the approach using pod lifecycle hooks. In this blog, I am using MYSQL database as an example. A similar approach can be used with other databases.
