Jira (FACT-1858) Provide an option to disable legacy facts so they are not sent to the master from the agent
Title: Message Title Josh Cooper commented on FACT-1858 Re: Provide an option to disable legacy facts so they are not sent to the master from the agent We attempted to disable legacy facts many years ago by blocking them in facter. However, that breaks types and providers that confine/defaultfor based on legacy facts, like the builtin "init" service provider: $ puppet apply -e '' Error: Could not autoload puppet/provider/service/init: undefined method `downcase' for nil:NilClass In order to disable legacy facts without breaking agents and provide a graceful migration path, we need to handle this in puppet, not facter. I've filed PUP-11662, which will make it possible to disable legacy facts in puppet 7.x. In puppet 8, we will fix puppet's builtin types/providers to reference structured facts and disable legacy facts by default (PUP-11430). Therefore, I'm going to close this as a duplicate, superseded by the puppet tickets. Add Comment This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.11#820011-sha1:0629dd8)

The user will be required to add "legacy" to the blocklist in facter.conf. This will make it so that legacy facts are not sent to the master during catalog compilation and thus not stored in PuppetDB?

Title: Message Title Nick Walker commented on FACT-1858 Re: Provide an option to disable legacy facts so they are not sent to the master from the agent I think not having facts as top-scope variables would have to be another opt-in change. That change provides a different benefit to users than what this ticket is trying to achieve around reducing data in PuppetDB. So, I think we're in agreement, as part of this ticket we should not change facts being top scope variables.

There is a subtle difference wrt legacy facts and top scope variables - since the structured facts also result in top scope variables - not sure we want to get rid of all of them and force people to reference them via $facts at all times.

Title: Message Title Nick Walker commented on FACT-1858 Re: Provide an option to disable legacy facts so they are not sent to the master from the agent Henrik Lindberg yes, that's why this ticket is to provide an opt-in way to disable legacy facts. I believe the next step is to provide a reasonable to run PDK spec tests with legacy facts disabled so users can fix any problems disabling creates and ensure each module they have doesn't regress on that. We'll also want to provide guidance along the lines of exactly what you are talking about to inform users how they will need to change their puppet code or templates.

Title: Message Title Henrik Lindberg commented on FACT-1858 Re: Provide an option to disable legacy facts so they are not sent to the master from the agent This would also get rid of the top scope variables representing individual facts I suppose. That will break a lot of code, but is a big improvement otherwise. One issue with many top scope variables is that they are all visible in every context and if ERB templates are used it will need to set them all as instance variables in the context given to ERB and that is quite time consuming (and cannot be changed without forcing people to modify their templates). Removing them also means reducing memory consumption when compiling since facts are now duplicated in memory as well (and they had to be read for each compile as well).

Title: Message Title Nick Walker updated an issue Facter / FACT-1858 Provide an option to disable legacy facts so they are not sent to the master from the agent Change By: Nick Walker h1. The ProblemWe came out with structured facts or "modern facts" as we call them long ago, however, we still have legacy facts and we send both the legacy version and the modern version whenever the agent requests a catalog. This means we are allowing users to refer to the legacy fact names in code and potentially creating tech debt if we ever remove the legacy fact names, as we probably should. Additionally we are burdening PuppetDB with all of the duplicate information since legacy facts are represented in the modern facts. Downstream of PuppetDB the PE Console is slowed down by the large amount of unique fact names caused by legacy facts. h1. Suggested Improvement We should provide an option to disable legacy facts altogether so that the agent doesn't send them to the master and then subsequently they do not get stored in PuppetDB. We could provide this as an option, deprecate legacy facts and remove them in a future version. h1. Side thoughtGiven this type of setting it could be plumbed into spec testing so that legacy facts could be disabled and tests could fail if someone refers to a legacy fact name. This would give early warning to users. Add Comment This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.7.1#77002-sha1:e75ca93)
