----------------------------------------
Currently three entries in a hiera.yaml category specification are needed to
specify a contribution to to a category.
For humans it is far easier if all elements have a name (unless being a true
multiple value attribute).
i.e. you have to write something like:
<pre>
['osfamily', '${osfamily}', 'data/osfamily/${osfamily}']
</pre>
This makes it difficult to add smart defaults, and support a private (nested
hierarchy). (Separate issues)
Suggests that is done like this:
<pre>
hiera.yaml
---
version: 3 # (since are making changes)
hierarchy:
-
category: 'name'
paths:
- 'path 1'
- 'path 2'
-
category: 'name2'
value: 'some interpolated value'
path: 'a single path'
</pre>
The element 'datadir' should also be added to enable defaults to refer to this
location.
When format is change it needs a new version.
