[chef] Re: recipe, recipes and loaded_recipes (CHEF-3645)

["Julian C. Dunn" < >]

We search for "role" only because I read somewhere that searching against "roles" is much more expensive. But it has bitten us before.

While I wouldn't mind if "role" went away, I'd want to know that the performance of searching for "roles" wasn't going to be awful.

Do you ever search for [role] or [recipe] instead of [roles] and [recipes]? Why? Would you be traumatized if these went away (because they're confusing) in Chef 11 and you had to look through the nodes run_list?

Do you use node[:recipes] and run_state[:seen_recipes] in a cookbooks to determine if a recipe is in the expanded run list but hasn't been seen yet? Would you hold it against me if node[:recipes] contained the recipes that had been seen/loaded so far (and the final list of all recipes at the end of the run, including ones from include_recipe), instead of the expanded run_list?

Thoughts?
