Priority:	Normal
Reporter:	Josh Cooper

Puppet will let you set fine grained file and environment timeouts, but it doesn't really work. We are deprecating the ability to set the timeout to something other than "always cache" vs "never cache" in https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/7001. This ticket is to disallow any values other than that.

Re: Remove fine grained file and environment timeouts

The original motivation for this comes from Justin Stoller comment in https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/7001:

See ~~SERVER-2285~~ and ~~SERVER-2028~~ for background on these two settings (and how they don't work well currently).

Re: Remove fine grained file and environment timeouts

Nick, it seems like using the per-environment environment.conf override abilities would help users with many short lived feature branches vs long lived branches like production. I would think users would want to set those short lived feature branches' environment_timeout to zero (either they're testing it on a box or iterating on code, but aren't using cached versions of old code) or they are in production (or a similar long lived environment like staging) and want unlimited caching managed by code-manager.

Re: Remove fine grained file and environment timeouts

Justin Stoller we should figure out what we want to do with this soon. Either we should remove the deprecation warning, or we should remove the fine-grained control. Coremunity doesn't have enough context on the work to make this decision.

Re: Remove fine grained file and environment timeouts

We've been talking more about environment ttls lately with the recent file-sync work. I think after this upcoming release we can look into whether the environment-ttl work will be doable in the pre-7 timeframe and if not we can remove the deprecation notice.

Re: Remove fine grained file and environment timeouts

Josh Cooper I confirmed with Froyo that we still consider https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-8014 a pre-req for this work. Do you have a sense of what implementing environment_ttl would entail?
