Hi Folks,

There is currently a PR against stdlib that I am writing to you today
about: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib/pull/444
Thanks to Spredzy for making this PR.

This is tracked in jira:
https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/MODULES-1982

This pattern has poked up a few different places. As the PR says, it has
shown up in the monogodb module and the puppetdb module. I know that
Michael Chapman added something like this to his OpenStack things and
Dan Bode as well.

At the modules triage today we had the following reactions (please reply
if there is something you said I didn't get):

* This is a new pattern
* Having it in stdlib means we can't iterate on it quickly
* This is a library thing, and should be a library
* Once standardized, puppetdb and other modules could be retrofitted to
use it
* This will probably change frequently as people use it and explore what
it should/can do

We had the idea that rather than landing this in puppet-stdlib, that we
could create a module in puppet-community to hold this and other
validation/health check resources.

We had some ideas on the name:

puppet-healthcheck
puppet-validation
puppet-external_validate.

It's worth noting that these are primitives for building multi-node
orchestration with Puppet.

What do you think? Do you use these patterns? Would you? What would you
want from your library?

Thanks,
Spencer
