Salt: multi-master does not work correctly with reactor auto sync

[bernieke]

When using the sync reactor example from the documentation.
With the following snippet in the master config:

reactor:
  - 'salt/minion/*/start':
    - /srv/reactor/sync_all.sls

Minions will only be accessible from one of the two masters in a multi-master setup. (Even though the minion keys are synced, you can only test.ping half the minions on each master.)

Which master gets which minions seems pretty arbitrary, depending on the minion configuration file. (Removing or adding an empty line in the config often results in the minion switching master.)

Yes, this is a current limitation of the reactor and multi-master. We are working on a master-cluster feature that will address these sorts of problems and hope to have it finished in the next several weeks.

Has anything been done with this? As far as I can tell, I can call execution functions on both masters just fine, however, reactors execute more than once - once for each master, to be exact.

I think this one is worth keeping open, unless plans for multi-master stuff have been dropped entirely.
