| Making targets in the inventory context aware of how they are being invoked isn't feasible. When invoking a single group it's easy to know what context should take precedence - that of the group being invoked. But what if I invoke multiple groups that a node is a part of? Which group config should take precedence? What if I invoke the node by name, and it's a member of multiple groups? The inventory is fundamentally a way of storing connection information about targets. Groups are just ways of short-handing a list of those targets and providing some precedence to config options, but they don't (and, as far in the future as I can see, won't) provide the context for those targets to be run in during a particular Bolt invocation. |
