Speaking formally, and for the platform team who maintain that code: We hope that PuppetDB is the answer to the current StoreConfigs problems. Until we have real world proof that it is stable, and effective, we are not even going to talk about when we remove the previous set of functionality. When we do that it will be with a long time horizon - over a major release, a year from now - so that we don't take anything away suddenly. >From our point of view the embedded database is a good solution for teams that can't use the PostgreSQL store. Given ~ 2MB of JVM heap per active node, the embedded database has performance equal to or better than the current MySQL and SQLite ActiveRecord backed engines. That makes it reasonable for most deployments without an external database, even if it is not as much of a performance win. -- Daniel Pittman ⎋ Puppet Labs Developer – http://puppetlabs.com ♲ Made with 100 percent post-consumer electrons -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
