We do support it. The primary use case is better scaling where clients do all
the catalog compilation in environments where all information can be accessible
to all nodes.

Bug #5212: With Puppet standalone, exported facts are overriding local facts
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5212
Author: Jordan Sissel
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee:
Category: exported resources
Target version: 2.6.6
Affected Puppet version: 2.6.2
Keywords: exported facts override local
Branch:
I have custom facts that are being overriden by the values stored in the
storeconfig database.
That is, if I run 'FACTERLIB=/path/to/puppet/facts facter' I see the correct
fact, but when I run puppet I see the old value.
On a hunch, I did this in my storeconfigs mysql db:
<pre>
mysql> delete from fact_names;
Query OK, 126 rows affected (0.03 sec)
mysql> delete from fact_values;
Query OK, 4075 rows affected (0.12 sec)
</pre>
It is not relevant w hether the above is an unsupported operation - I am just
hacking and debugging right now ;)
Here's the result:
% sudo puppet --modulepath /opt/puppet/modules --verbose
--no-use_cached_catalog --storeconfigs --thin_storeconfigs --ignorecache
/opt/puppet/manifests/site.pp
info: Loading facts in truth
info: Loading facts in rightscale
info: Loading facts in zookeeper
info: Connecting to mysql database: puppet
warning: Host is missing hostname and/or domain: solr13-1.prod.loggly.net
err: Scope(Node[default]): Unsupported operatingsystem: ''
info: Caching catalog for solr13-1.prod.loggly.net
info: Applying configuration version '1289001996'
notice: /Stage[main]//Node[default]/Exec[apt refresh]/returns: executed
successfully
</pre>
So if the facts table is empty, the node can't find its facts. This is very
strange. So I try this:
<pre>
mysql> delete from hosts;
Query OK, 37 rows affected (0.01 sec)
</pre>
And things start working...
Basically, it seems like facts stored in the storeconfig db override local
facts, which seems like a bug to me given it prevents facts from changing.
Thoughts?
