Enhancement #23045

Updated by François ARMAND over 1 year ago

Git management is complicated, and even with automatic GC, commiting all node information in `/var/rudder/fact-repository/nodes` is not working for high load and without manual maintenance. So it breaks rudder at unexpected point: 

 - it can make change longer to be processed, like parsing a new inventory or changing a node property, due to long git commit time, 
 - it can lead to hard to diagnose errors due to git lock problem, like in #20355 or #22616 - which is also a prove that in any case, we need to become better at automatic git ops in rudder 
 - maybe it's linked with strange inventory problems (#22246) (#22616) 

 As for now, and contrary to config-repository, that repo is not used for user-facing features, we should:  

 - add a config option to disable the commit part, 
 - make the default be "do not commit" 
 - make it in 7.3
