The idea would be to have a simple data structure that would be kept in memory, could be accessed and serialized using marshal (and sync'ed) to disk to disk through __salt__ (therefore from the STS templates and/or module actions).

This would allow for faster read and write accesses within compound executions, and faster reads through the lifetime of the minion process as we wouldn't have to read from disk every time.

Sorry if this exists already.
