| Core:
 | |
|    - support $__self = relative_type/object_id
 | |
|    - cache
 | |
| 
 | |
| Cache:
 | |
|    Assume you want to configure stuff one host ("monitor node"),
 | |
|    depending on the configuration of other hosts ("cluster nodes").
 | |
| 
 | |
|    For instance, the monitor host would like to know,
 | |
|    which hosts are configured with the provider
 | |
|    "apache" and option --start true.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    This requires the monitor node to be able to
 | |
|    query all other configured nodes. It can't
 | |
|    ask for all hosts, because cdist does not
 | |
|    know which hosts are configured or may exist.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    Example implementation
 | |
| 
 | |
|    If cdist keeps ("caches") the configuration of every
 | |
|    node it configures, each new node can query the
 | |
|    cache for existing nodes that acquired the given
 | |
|    configuration.
