[jira] [Commented] (BIGTOP-2746) Migrate to Puppet 4

["Olaf Flebbe (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-2746?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15980012#comment-15980012 ] 

Olaf Flebbe commented on BIGTOP-2746:
-------------------------------------

Since we use puppet from the distros I do care of EOL of a distro, but not that much about EOL at puppetlabs.

In order to get a reasonable datapoint, I just converted a docker instance to puppet 4 and tested whether the toolchain works:
I will push the effort in a branch. To make the story short: Many changes for no extra gain.

The infrastructure changes are large (new puppet root in /opt/puppetlabs, puppet package is gone, has to use puppet-agent), we are now depend on a thirdparty product not contained in a distribution. And I see no extra gains, for now.

I am +1 for having our puppet code future proof, so it is ok to have it puppet4 compatible, but I am -1 for switching to puppetlabs distro, for now, unless we get some benefits.

I found one glitch, which should have been detected earlier before. Will open a JIRA shortly to fix that.
