Title: Message Title

Christopher Price created an issue   PuppetDB / PDB-2272 Support namespaced configuration for database and vardir settings Issue Type: Task Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2015/12/22 9:03 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Christopher Price In recent explorations around the possibility of running multiple components of the PE stack in the same JVM process together, one issue that came up several times is namespacing for configuration settings. Since all of the Clojure apps use a conf.d style configuration pattern, where config settings can appear in any file in the conf.d directory, there is a risk of collisions between configuration sections or setting names. For example, PuppetDB has a setting called 'vardir' that lives in a section called 'global'. In a multi-service deployment, this setting looks confusing because it is not at all clear that it is specific to PuppetDB. PuppetDB also has a configuration section that is just called 'database'. In a multi-service deployment, when there are other databases being configured as well, this is confusing at best and might actually cause incompatibilities at worst. Fortunately so far the services I've tried running in the same container with PuppetDB have namespaced their own database config settings, e.g.: classifier: { database: { ... } } In the interest of maintaining backward compatibility, perhaps a possible solution would be to add support for a new section called puppetdb in the config, and, if it's found, read vardir and database settings from there; else, fall back to the current behavior and issue a deprecation warning?
