This resource creates too many versions

[Rukenshia]

Hi,

we've recently run into an issue with your resource (and a few others that work more or less the same). The issue is that concourse, with every check interval, creates a new row versioned_resource for your resource. This means that after some time, there are a lot of rows for your resource. For your resource, we are talking 300k versions across all teams. This makes concourse reaaaally slow.

To fix this problem, the check script always needs to return an empty array and the users need to call the put step, which will be followed up by concourse with an implicit get step. Functionality will not really change, all the users have to do is change "get" to "put". We've done the same for our resource. Sadly, the check script still runs even with the put step, which is why I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that we can change this with you.

Hi @Rukenshia,

Thanks for letting me know of this issue! Sure, I'm up for changing this, it totally makes sense.
