NGINX lifecycle

[Joel Parker]

I want to load a table of key/value pairs from the file system when nginx
starts and not every time a request comes in. I am going to use the
key/value pairs to compare against incoming post args in my location block.

My question is how many times is init_by_lua_block called ? or is there
somewhere else I should be loading the file ?

server {
         init_by_lua_block {
             some_global_var = stuff from file io read;
         }

          location \ {
                 ...
         }
}
