Nomad: envconsul-like environment {} clause

[jippi]

Hi

Is it planned to bring envconsul like consul-kv monitoring into nomad and restart the process on change(s) ?

e.g. monitoring two -prefix and on changes within those kv, send certain signal / restart process ideally with similar wait , upcase and sanitize options

similar to

consul {
   kv_prefix {
      prefixes = ["/something", "/awesome"]
      wait { min: "3s", max: "6s" }
      upcase = 1
      sanitized = 1
   }
}

We don't have plans to first class this but would like to make it possible through life-cycle plugins which we plan to bring in 0.6

@dadgar so you have a overview roadmap of which features you got planned for which versions - maybe just even in bullet form ?

[dadgar]

Internally yes, but we do not advertise it publicly since it changes quite often

@dadgar I'm not necessarily interesting in feature x will be in release y, but rather what the features in general is :) I've bet on all hashcorp software since first public releases so far, and never been disappointed :)

I would be interested in sort of an envconsul block configuration similar to the recently introduced template block.

Just to update this, this will land in 0.6.0! It will not be a new block but will reuse the template specification!
