to ensure consistent behavior, hosts should look like this:
hosts: webservers:&boston:!rack42
So when applying the host selectors, run those without the "&" first,
then the &s, then the !s.
Closes#3500
and the _meta hash contains a "hostvars", don't call --host hostname for any elements
and just serve them directly for performance enhancements with the external inventory
script and a large number of hosts.
Since ansible 1.2, it became possible to place a host_vars
directory in the same directory as a playbook, making it possible
to keep host_vars local to that playbook there. However, due to
python's os.path.dirname, a action such as:
$ ansible-playbook pb.yml
..would not pick up the host_vars as os.path.dirname("pb.yml")
returns "", unlike the unix command dirname that would return
".". Substituting "pb.yml" on the command line with "./pb.yml"
would do the trick, but is not always intuitive. This patch
solves the problem until python solves issue18547 [1].

A host pattern of the form '!foo' by itself does not work, but
'all:!foo' does. If the first pattern is a negation, this commit
automatically prepends 'all'.

e.g. db[01:10:3]node-[01:10]
- to do this we split off at the first [...] set, getting the list
of hosts and then repeat until none left.
- also add an optional third parameter which contains the step. (Default: 1)
so range can be [01:10:2] -> 01 03 05 07 09
If someone has a " #" in a quoted var string, it
will interpret that as a comment and refuse to
load the inventory file due to an unbalanced
quote. Noisy failure > unexpected behavior.
Look for a file with the base name of the group/host, first without
a file extension, then with a '.yml' extension, and, finally, with
a '.yaml' extension, loading vars from only the first one found.
Hash variables are currently overriden if they are redefined. This
doesn't let the user refine hash entries or overriding selected keys,
which can, for some, be a desirable feature.
This patch let the user force hash merging by setting the
hash_behaviour value to "merge" (without the quotes) in ansible.cfg
However, by default, ansible behaves like it always did and if any value
besides "merge" is used ("replace" is suggested in the example ansible.cfg
file), it will also behave as always.
This allows patterns such as webservers:!debian:&datacenter1 to target
hosts in the webservers group, that are not in the debian group, but are
in the datacenter1 group. It also parses patterns left to right.

Enhance _match function in inventory with regex.
--limit ~regex could be used to filter hosts or group with a regex.
Tested on cli and ansible-playbook.

Added possibility to filter hosts from a group, with a regex, separating
groupname and regex with a ~
Usage in group pattern: group~filterpattern
Samples:
ansible group~server-0[1236] -m ping
ansible web~proxy -m ping
ansible web~(proxy|frontend) -m ping
Otherwise, a host in two groups, A and B, using a variable defined
in group A and all will get the value of all, as B's variables will
include the all variable.
Partially fixes#1647.
The default is 0, which means all hosts. If set to 1, each host would run a playbook all the way through before moving
on the next host. Fact gathering is still parallel, regardless of the serial setting.
to an additional pattern (a subset) specified on the command line. For instance, a playbook could be reusable
and target "webservers" and "dbservers", but you want to test only in the stage environment, or a few boxes at a time.
./group_vars/groupname.yml (for all groups the host is in)
./host_vars/hostname.yml (for the hostname given in the inventory)
This requires an actual inventory file, not script and the paths are relative
to the directory of the inventory file.

Allow groups to be defined on a per-host basis
This makes it possible to define on a per-host basis what groups a host is in.
When managing a large set of systems it makes it easier to ensure each of the
systems is defined in a set of groups (e.g. production/qa/development,
linux/solaris/aix) rather than having to add systems to multiple disconnected
groups.
----
- host: system01
- host: system02
- host: system03
- group: linux
hosts:
- system01
- system02
- group: solaris
hosts:
- system03
- group: production
hosts:
- system01
- system03
- group: qa
- system02
- group: dbserver
hosts:
- system01
- group: ntpserver
hosts:
- system02
- group: webserver
- system03
----
Can be redefined as:
----
- host: system01
groups: [ linux, production, dbserver ]
- host: system02
groups: [ linux, qa, ntpserver ]
- host: system03
groups: [ solaris, production, webserver ]
----
get_hosts() was treating [] (meaning complete restriction, no hosts allowed)
the same as None (meaning no restriction, all hosts allowed). Fixed logic.
