[[chef-dev]] Lightweight Search

[Justin Alan Ryan < >]

Hello,

At a recent SV Chef meetup we discussed a problem we have at Wikia related to the memory requirements of our chef-client runs.

Many folks shared similar concerns and some folks from Opscode expressed that they are aware of the problem and that a solution may involve search calls specifying which attributes they need on returned nodes.

I haven't heard of any movement on this, and we're considering writing a patch which implements an optional paramater for search and returns abbreviated JSON.

I talked to a couple of folks who suggested dropping a note here to see if we're potentially duplicating effort and/or if there is any such effort we can contribute to.

I'll update as we make progress, thanks in advance for any input!

Justin
