Jira (PUP-5834) Handle extended data in the catalog

[Henrik Lindberg (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Henrik Lindberg created an issue   Puppet / PUP-5834 Handle extended data in the catalog Issue Type: New Feature Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2016/02/07 10:03 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Henrik Lindberg In our current catalog format, parameters of a resource are encoded in json like this: "parameters": { "description": "Parameters: regex is from http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/3/reference/lang_reserved.html", "type": "object", "patternProperties": { "^[a-z][a-z0-9_]*$": {} }, "additionalProperties": false } This is not enough as it does not allow for any non Json native types to be expressed. In order to retain the existing format, we should add a new "ext_parameters" that allows for more complex values (in particular Binary and Sensitive. "ext_parameters": { "description": "Parameters: regex is from http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/3/reference/lang_reserved.html", "type": "object", "patternProperties": { "^[a-z][a-z0-9_]*$": {} }, "additionalProperties": false } The only difference is that the values of each json property is an object (the scheme should reflect that). The values are encoded using ext_properties encoding (since we need to be able handling a Binary inside of a Sensitive. In this ticket: The catalog schema should be updated The serialization should have a mechanism for ext_parameters The deserialization should have a mechanism for ext_parameters When serializing check the version of the catalog that will be produced, and fail if there is an attempt to serialize unsupported data types (i.e. the use case when older agent requests a catalog and the data is too advanced). when this ticket is accepted, log tickets for other projects (PDB, Catalog Preview, etc.) unit test both server (serialization), and client side (deserialization) This ticket is blocked by the Binary type (PUP-5831); as without it, there is no sensible data to serialize/deserialize as all such special types needs to be handled specifically at both ends.
