Re: Puppet Lookup does not interpolate local variables from calling scope
CJ Toolseram Allowing the configuration to differ based on local scope is a really bad idea. In large installations there are millions of look ups from different contexts - changing the configuration per context means that cache has to be completely invalidated. That will have a severe performance impact. A change such as that will simply not be accepted; hence the "won't do" closing.
The implementations of both hiera and lookup are public, they are in the hiera and puppet git repositories at git hub. So, not sure what "code" you want to get access to that would not be there.
The "lookup" functionality is only marked as experimental as we wanted to reserved the right to modify its API. No such things have yet been found and we are very close to removing the "experimental" flag on the lookup feature.
Also, please do not make comments private to developers only as this is an open source project. We only use that when there is sensitive user information in a post, or when there is something truly internal to puppet inc of administrative nature (links to support tickets, and the like).
