Perils of CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY
--------------------------------
Notes on CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY

With CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY all types are executed in the order in which they
are created in the manifest. The current created object automatically depends

It essentially helps you to build up blocks of code that build upon each other
(like first creating the directory xyz than the file below the directory).
This can be helpful, but it can also be the source of *evil*.
CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY easily causes unobvious dependency cycles
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let's see an example. Suppose you have special init manifest where among other
things you are assuring that remote host has packages `sudo` and `curl`
installed.
**init1**
.. code-block:: sh
CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY=1
export CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY
for p in sudo curl
do
__package "${p}"
done
Then you have some other special init manifest where among other things you are
assuring `sudo` package is installed.
**init2**
.. code-block:: sh
CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY=1
export CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY
__package sudo
Then you have third init manifest where you combine those two init manifests,
by including them:
**init**
.. code-block:: sh
sh -e "$__manifest/init1"
sh -e "$__manifest/init2"
The resulting init manifest is then equal to:
.. code-block:: sh
CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY=1
export CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY
for p in sudo curl
do
__package "${p}"
done
CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY=1
export CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY
__package sudo
In the end you get the following dependencies:
* `__package/curl` depends on `__package/sudo`
* `__package/sudo` depends on `__package/curl`
And here you have a circular dependency!
In the real world manifest can be quite complex, dependencies can become
complicated and circual dependencies are not so obvious. Resolving it can
become cumbersome.
**Practical solution?**
Instead of managing complex init manifests you can write custom types.
Each custom type can do one thing, it has well defined dependencies that will
not leak into init manifest. In custom type you can also add special explorers
and gencode.
Then, in init manifest you combine your complex types. It is:
* cleaner
* easier to follow
* easier to maintain
* easier to debug.
This can be helpful, but one must be aware of its side effects.
CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY kills parallelization
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suppose you have defined CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY and then, among other things,
you specify creation of three, by nature independent, files.

In version 6.2.0 semantic CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY is finally fixed and well defined.
CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY defines type order dependency context. Order dependency context
starts when CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY is set, and ends when it is unset. After each
manifest execution finishes, any existing order dependency context is automatically
unset. This ensures that CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY is valid within the manifest where it
is used. When order dependency context is defined then cdist executes types in the
order in which they are created in the manifest inside order dependency context.
Sometimes the best way to see how something works is to see examples.
Suppose you have defined **initial manifest**:
.. code-block:: sh
__cycle1 cycle1
export CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY=1
__cycle2 cycle2
__cycle3 cycle3
with types **__cycle1**:
.. code-block:: sh
export CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY=1
__file /tmp/cycle11
__file /tmp/cycle12
__file /tmp/cycle13
**__cycle2**:
.. code-block:: sh
__file /tmp/cycle21
export CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY=1
__file /tmp/cycle22
__file /tmp/cycle23
unset CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY
__file /tmp/cycle24
**__cycle3**:
.. code-block:: sh
__file /tmp/cycle31
__file /tmp/cycle32
export CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY=1
__file /tmp/cycle33
__file /tmp/cycle34
For the above config, cdist results in the following expected *dependency graph*
(type *__cycleX* is shown as *cX*, *__file/tmp/cycleXY* is shown as *fcXY*):
::
c1---->fc11
| /\
| |
+----->fc12
| /\
| |
+----->fc13
c2--+--->fc21
/\ |
| |
| +----->fc22
| | /\
| | |
| +----->fc23
| |
| |
| +----->fc24
|
|
c3---->fc31
|
|
+----->fc32
|
|
+----->fc33
| /\
| |
+----->fc34
Before version 6.2.0 the above configuration would result in cycle:
::
ERROR: 185.203.112.26: Cycle detected in object dependencies:
__file/tmp/cycle11 -> __cycle3/cycle3 -> __cycle2/cycle2 -> __cycle1/cycle1 -> __file/tmp/cycle11!
The following manifest shows an example for order dependency contexts:
.. code-block:: sh
__file /tmp/fileA
export CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY=1
__file /tmp/fileB
__file /tmp/fileC
__file /tmp/fileD
unset CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY
__file /tmp/fileE
__file /tmp/fileF
export CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY=1
__file /tmp/fileG
__file /tmp/fileH
unset CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY
__file /tmp/fileI
This means:
* C depends on B
* D depends on C
* H depends on G
and there are no other dependencies from this manifest.
