Jira (PUP-7229) Backward-incompatible change from 4.8 and 4.9: deep merged hiera hashes and arrays

[Henrik Lindberg (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Henrik Lindberg updated an issue   Puppet / PUP-7229 Backward-incompatible change from 4.8 and 4.9: deep merged hiera hashes and arrays Change By: Henrik Lindberg Basically, `hiera_hash` and `hiera_array` with deep merge (using a global hiera.yaml FWIW) stopped working correctly on our puppetserver when the puppet-agent package was upgraded. I know we're using some deprecated patterns, but the breakage in the minor version update was unexpected. Please see https://gist.github.com/kpaulisse/b8a8f854988032eceae3e53f242d6309 for simple steps to reproduce. This also manifests itself in a number of other odd ways, such as `hiera_include` taking several seconds on the newer version. {code} {{------------- WORKING ------------- #ii  puppet-agent                     1.8.3-1jessie                amd64        The Puppet Agent package contains all of the elements needed to run puppet, including ruby, facter, hiera and mcollective. #ii  puppetserver                     2.7.2-1puppetlabs1           all          Puppet Labs puppetserver Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/Node[default]/Notify[{   "middle": {     "groups": {       "foo": {         "gid": 500       }     },     "users": {       "kevin": {         "uid": 500       }     }   } }]/message: current_value absent, should be {   "middle": {     "groups": {       "foo": {         "gid": 500       }     },     "users": {       "kevin": {         "uid": 500       }     }   } } (noop) {code} {code} ------------- NOT WORKING ------------- #ii  puppet-agent                     1.9.1-1jessie                amd64        The Puppet Agent package contains all of the elements needed to run puppet, including ruby, facter, hiera and mcollective. #ii  puppetserver                     2.7.2-1puppetlabs1           all          Puppet Labs puppetserver Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/Node[default]/Notify[{   "middle": {     "users": {       "kevin": {         "uid": 500       }     }   } }]/message: current_value absent, should be {   "middle": {     "users": {       "kevin": {         "uid": 500       }     }   } } (noop) }} {code} Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029-sha1:ae256fe) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
