Issue #5239 has been updated by eric sorenson.

Category set to stored configuration
Target version set to 3.x

Pulling this in to 3.x timeframe, +cc Deepak for PuppetDB implications. 

In talking it over the proposed semantics would be that there's at most 1 
node's catalog available for collection at any time. It's got the environment 
associated with it, as do 'collect' requests for exported resources.

Bug #5239: Exported resources are hard to collect by environment
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5239#change-95044

* Author: Jordan Sissel
* Status: Needs Decision
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: eric sorenson
* Category: stored configuration
* Target version: 3.x
* Affected Puppet version: 3.2.3
* Keywords: exported resources collection environments
* Branch: 
----------------------------------------
I noticed today that Foo <<| |>> collects all Foo resources regardless of 
environment. Doing Foo <<| environment == ... |>> would be cool, but I don't 
think that works.

Why was this a problem? I have multiple deployments; some of which cannot see 
each other on the network (outside of the storeconfigs db). As a result of this 
behavior (collect all resources in all environments), I have nagios instances 
that try to monitor machines they can't see and thus all checks fail and pager 
goes beep beep. ;)

I found a work around using tags.

<pre>
node default {
  # Globally apply an environment-based tag to all resources on each node.
  tag("deployment::$environment")
  ...
}

# And later ...

SomeResource <<| tag == "deployment::$environment" |>> 
</pre>

The above workaround is sufficient for me to continue deploying exported 
resources (not a blocker).

I was expecting collectors of exported resources would only, by default, get 
resources from the same environment. Barring that, I think a query of <<| 
environment == ... |>> would be quite useful rather than resorting to tagging.
