Issue #18573 has been reported by Brian Wong. ---------------------------------------- Refactor #18573: File downloads from pluginsync extremely slow https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/18573
Author: Brian Wong Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: 3.0.1 Keywords: DNS pluginsync Branch: The [standard library module](http://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/stdlib) provides numerous parser functions. It is extremely slow on my client's first puppet agent invocation to download these files. I found that each file downloaded requires a DNS call to the puppet server. I am not sure if it is advantageous, or even possible, to download plugins from multiple sources and therefore believe there should only be one DNS call made regardless of how many files must be downloaded. It is extremely inefficient in the current model. The problem happens only when I am using my Vagrant VMs as Puppet clients though the problem is not limited to these systems. Other systems, notably those running in EC2 (VPC) do not experience the problem. This is because the DNS calls made in EC2 return much more quickly than my local virtual machine setup. My situation is quite similar to [this user experience](https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/puppet-users/Ek4jSO7zC1E) but the solution does not apply to me as it is not the Puppet server performing DNS calls in my case. A `tcpdump` on both server and client during the pluginsync has proven this to me. I am running CentOS 6.3 on both client and server. The puppet version on both client and server is 3.0.1. Please refactor/redesign the DNS calls performed during the pluginsync operation to reduce unnecessary network calls.
