Jira (PUP-8020) Add data types Nodes and Node to puppet for tasks/plans

[Thomas Hallgren (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Thomas Hallgren commented on PUP-8020   Re: Add data types Nodes and Node to puppet for tasks/plans I don't understand the motivation for Nodes, Why isn't it enough to declare Array[Node] at all times where multiple nodes are desired? From the looks of it, the only motivation for the a new type with all it's bells and whistles here would be the ability to split a comma separated string. If so, why not use a function? function parse_nodes(String[1] $nodes) >> Array[Node] { $nodes.split(',').map |$n| { Node($n) } } and if it's too cumbersome to spell out the array form, use an alias: type Nodes = Array[Node] If we really need a Nodes data-type for other reasons, should it be parameterized? I.e. is it possible to write Nodes[1] or Nodes[0,3]? What about assignability? Is Nodes assignable to Array[Node]? Is the opposite true? Are they equal in magnitude? Is Nodes[2,2] assignable to Tuple[Node, Node]?
