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.
