[katello-devel] Foreman integration and Elastic search

We are about to start using Elastic search for lookups on Foreman data 
on Katello side. Up until this moment Katello didn't persist any 
Foreman-related data at all.

This introduces what is essentially a long-term cache, but without any 
form of cache control or cache validation. Another issue is this breaks 
Foreman modularization, with Katello now being responsible for some of 
the Foreman data.

I think this functionality should be moved to Foreman (or Foreman's 
existing functionality improved) and exposed via introduction of search 
functionality in Foreman's API.


Thoughts?
