Since the RA always starts unhealthy (it needs to load overrides), this allows it to become healthy sooner. This speeds up integration test startup by about 20s, because we start four instances of RA, and they were all waiting on their second internal health check before they could become healthy.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This means that every SA instance will be doing two SELECT 1s every 500ms, too:

That's probably fine, but I'm not fully convinced we want to do that in prod.

Note that our
health-checkerbinary (used fromstartservers.py) checks health every 100ms, but no requests are actually sent over the wire because the server side has not sent the client a streaming reply to theHealthClient.Watch()RPC. We do have the option of plumbing things up so that RA can callserverBuilder.healthSrv.SetServingStatus()as soon as its overrides are loaded, which would speed things up a bit more, but this seems good enough for now.
