Completely agree. There are a few different ways to do this, and we're exploring multiple of them (server-side cache, queued compile requests). Note that you can actually hack this pretty easily now with the 'catalog_terminus' setting - just create a terminus that caches the catalogs as json in a directory, and when you want to force a recompile, remove the cache. You have to force the recompile from outside (e.g., by removing a given host's cached file), but it will do what you want. I think that's in 0.25.5. ---------------------------------------- Feature #4486: server-side (puppetmaster) catalogue caching http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4486 Author: Robin Bowes Status: Accepted Priority: High Assigned to: Category: plumbing Target version: Affected version: Keywords: Branch: I'd like to see some sort of catalogue caching in puppetmaster, so it can handle more requests. The use case is deploying a config change across many machines in parallel. At the moment, it is not possible to deploy to a large number of machines simultaneously - puppetmaster can't take the load. I'd like to be able to do this: 1. disable puppetmaster (ie. prevent clients from getting updated catalogues) 2. make configuration changes (update modules, manifests, etc.) 3. Pre-generate catalogs for all clients and cache them so they are not re-generated next time the client connects 4. Trigger a puppet run on all clients. They will connect and get the cached catalogue, which should be a fairly lightweight process compared to compiling the whole catalogue Thoughts? -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
