---------------------------------------- Feature #1621: Composite resource identifier http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/1621 Author: Francois Deppierraz Status: Ready for Testing Priority: High Assigned to: Category: RAL Target version: 2.6 Affected version: 0.22.1 Keywords: Branch: http://github.com/jes5199/puppet/tree/feature/master/1621-namevars Quote From Luke on puppet-dev in thread "Composite resource identifier". http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-dev/browse_thread/thread/30fe5694ca9a39dd?fwc=1 <pre> Yeah, composite keys are the way to go, and I think we're actually at the point (at least, in the master branch) where this is approachable. Previously, we had lots of code that was responsible for determining resource uniqueness, but it's essentially all been consolidated into the Catalog class. We'd likely still require unique titles, but it should be possible to, um, make it possible to define resource types with multiple namevars. Thus, any combination of namevars would have to be unique, but no single value would be unique. The reason you'd still probably want unique titles is so you could do relationships; e.g., Key[foo] works, but how would you do composite keys? Key[foo; comment => bar]? That would suck. I suppose the unique titles could be optional -- you'd only need them if you were specifying relationships. It'd be a bit problematic, though, in that Puppet uses this resource reference syntax a lot. Maybe have the namevars always in a specific order, and do something like Foo[key/other/bar]? In other words, this is technically feasible now, but we need an appropriate internal design and an appropriate syntax to go with it. </pre> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
