I''ve been researching this for a few days and I''ve reached a
level of
desperation sufficient to post.
We want to clean up our somewhat baroque Hiera structure and we''ve come
up
with a beautiful solution -- assigning multiple roles per host.
Our hierarchy would look something like this, more or less:
- roles/%{role}
- datacenters/%{datacenter}/%{cluster}
- datacenters/%{datacenter}
- default
The idea is to use facter_dot_d from stdlib and assign roles on hosts like
this:
---
role:
- hadoop-datanode
- hadoop-namenode
Issue number one, facter not supporting arrays, can be overcome with
switching to a ''roles'' fact and splitting it into a role
array, either with
a function or with puppet''s built in split.
---
roles: hadoop-datanode,hadoop-namenode
Issue number two, however, is bigger: hiera doesn''t allow a level in
hierarchy to be an array. We don''t really want to do %{role1}, %{role2}
..
%{role42}. Is there no non-kludgy solution for this?
I found https://github.com/puppetlabs/hiera/pull/48 which looks exactly
like what we need, but the commit has been rejected (which made me very
sad).
