Puppet thread safety

[Vincent Miszczak]

Hello,

I'd like to do the following : 

site.pp

custom_function_that_changes_puppet_internal_variables()

hiera_include("classes")

custom_function_that_restores_puppet_internal_variables()

Custom functions are  implemented using 

module Puppet::Parser::Functions

      newfunction(:hiera_hook) do |*args|

Multiple nodes will ask for this, is it safe to do ?

I would be very careful about doing this because the internals of puppet are very easy to get into unknown state regardless of threads being involved.

What are you trying to achieve?

Puppet does not work in a threaded environment in general.
